Gold prices stabilize as markets await key monetary policy announcements

Gold prices steadied on Today, with holding at $1,982.84 per ounce and U.S. experiencing a minor decline of 0.2 percent to stand at $1,991.35. The stabilization comes as market participants eagerly anticipate key monetary policy announcements from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England.

The consolidation of gold prices follows a surge last month due to heightened tensions in the Middle East. The escalation was amplified by Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip that resulted in 50 Palestinian casualties, including a Hamas commander. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the ongoing conflict with Hamas.

They are particularly keen on insights from Fed Chair Jerome Powell regarding possible adjustments to interest rates.
