Gold Edges Up as Fed Policy Uncertainty Persists

Spot gold prices have edged up to around $4,058.90 an ounce, supported by uncertainty over Federal Reserve policy and mixed U.S. inflation and manufacturing data.

The stronger dollar and rising Treasury yields limit gold's upside, but ongoing geopolitical tensions and steady Chinese gold demand provide support near the $4,000 level.

Investors are awaiting upcoming U.S. job and inflation reports for clearer signals on future Fed moves, which will influence gold and silver price directions.
