International Gold Rate Today

"Markets are obviously waiting for a little bit of ​direction from the Fed minutes to get a bit more sense around what the Fed's thinking ​is on the short-term interest rate policy," Reuters quoted Nicholas Frappell, global head of institutional markets at ABC Refinery.

As per Reuters report, the market is expecting a 56% chance of a rate increase in September, which is down from 60%. Higher rates make non-yielding bullion less attractive for investors. As a result, the US Fed's meeting minutes, set to be released nearly 13,675 kilometers away from Bangalore, could trigger a chain reaction in global gold prices. It can also influence domestic gold rates in Karnataka's capital as well.
