On Wednesday, the XAU/USD rose to $2,440 and held its ground after the widely anticipated Federal Reserve (Fed) decision.
The US Federal Reserve has again decided to keep the policy rate unchanged at 5.25%-5.5%, marking the eighth consecutive meeting without a rate adjustment. Following the decision the 2, 5, and 10-year Treasury yields remain stable at 4.36%, 4.02%, and 4.11% respectively with investors keenly anticipating Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's press conference for further insights.
Regarding the statement, there weren’t major language changes and the bank still considers that the inflation is somewhat elevated. There was no clear guidance regarding the September meeting which could be considered hawkish. As such the bank hints that it remains data-dependant.
