Gold prices fell to a more than three-week low as the US dollar rose ahead of a Federal Reserve decision on interest rates and monetary policy indicators later today.
The dollar rose 0.2% against rival currencies, increasing the cost of gold for other currency holders.
The Federal Reserve’s Monetary Policy Committee will issue a statement setting monetary policy and rate decisions at 19:00 GMT, followed by a press conference by Bank President Jerome Powell at 19:30 GMT.
Widespread traders expect the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged between 5.25 and 5.50% this week.
