XAUUSD - Tread water ahead of FOMC minutes
Gold prices did not stray too far from flat levels in quieter US trading on Wednesday. Traders are waiting for the minutes of the Federal Reserve's final Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting to be released this afternoon.
A growing number of economists and market observers believe that the Federal Reserve's series of rate hikes has succeeded in curbing price inflation to the point where there is no need for further rate hikes. Today's FOMC minutes may or may not provide new clues about the US central bank's bent monetary policy.
