Gold price lifts amid Federal Reserve minutes
The price of gold lifted above US$1,850 an ounce overnight as United States Federal Reserve minutes revealed interest rate hikes in the worldâs largest economy will likely slow this year.
Though, officials donât expect to lower rates in 2023 amid a continuing fight against inflation, as Reuters reports.
The gold price is now at its highest point since June, having gained around 1.6% since the end of 2022.
