COMEX gold trades marginally lower near $1680/oz as the US dollar and bond yields continue to hold on to recent gains amid positioning for Fed’s rate hike decision this week. Also weighing on price is weaker investor interest and general pressure on commodities. Supporting price is global growth worries and geopolitical tensions relating to Taiwan. Gold has managed to recover from April 2020 lows set last week as Fed’s rate hike has been largely factored in; however price may remain under pressure ahead of the meeting.
