7:00pm USD FOMC Meeting Minutes
Comment: After strong gains in the previous session, gold is trading on the back foot, pulled lower by the upbeat tone in the equities market and a degree of caution among gold traders ahead of the FOMC minutes later today.
The slightest hint of a more hawkish Fed could drag heavily on non-yielding gold, sending it back towards the recent multi-month low of USD1677. In the meantime, gold continues to take its cues from the direction of US long yields, which have been retreating, and not from the US dollar.
