Gold dips as inflation concerns rise
Gold prices declined as inflation concerns resurfaced and investors awaited the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision on interest rate hikes during this week's meeting. A rise in oil prices by over 2% following attacks on facilities in the region intensified fears of inflationary pressures, putting downward pressure on gold, which is used as a hedge against inflation. Markets currently estimate about an 86.5% probability that the Fed will raise interest rates at the meeting, which increases the cost of holding gold and is associated with expectations of its short-term performance decline.
