Gold, silver rate today: US Fed announcement set to drive precious metals
Investors continued to monitor the US Federal Reserve’s policy outlook for fresh clues on the future direction of interest rates. According to a Reuters poll, economists expect the central bank to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged for the remainder of 2026 as it continues its efforts to tackle persistent inflation.
Interest rate expectations remain one of the most significant influences on gold prices because lower borrowing costs generally improve the appeal of non-yielding assets such as bullion. With markets awaiting further policy signals, traders remained focused on incoming economic data and central bank commentary.
