At GMT+8 13:39, spot gold rose by 0.12% to US$1762.11 per ounce; the main COMEX gold contract rose by 0.17% to US$1762.3 per ounce; the US dollar index fell by 0.16% to 94.366.

This strengthens the Fed’s expectation that the Fed will start reducing monthly bond purchases as soon as next month. Central bank cuts in stimulus measures and interest rate hikes tend to push up government bond yields and increase the opportunity cost of holding gold.
