Comment: Gold was up on Thursday morning in Asia on the back of the U.S. Federal Reserve maintaining its easy monetary policy as it handed down its latest policy decision. A weakening dollar provided further support to the safe-haven yellow metal.
The Fed’s stance comes even as the U.S. continues its economic recovery from COVID-19. However, the U.S. trade deficit in goods climbed to a record high in March 2021, an indication that trade was a drag on economic growth in the first quarter of the year. This was in turn offset by domestic demand amid unprecedented government aid.
