The US central bank is set to call time on its pandemic-era stimulus programme
Bengaluru — Gold prices gained on Thursday, as the dollar weakened after the US Federal Reserve decided it would end its pandemic-era bond-buying programme in March, with investors now awaiting policy decisions from other major central banks.
“Any dollar weakness should see a corresponding rise in gold. The expectation is for a winding back of fiscal and monetary stimulus. If this view is unchanged, then it would be reasonable for gold prices to remain below $1,800,” said Michael Langford, director at corporate advisory AirGuide.
