Spot gold prices were little changed on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve signaled that it would remain patient when it comes raising interest rates.
In a statement after its latest policy meeting, the Fed made clear that no rate increase is imminent. Chair Janet Yellen said after last month’s meeting that by saying it would be “patient,” the Fed was signaling there would be no rate increase for at least two meetings.
The Fed’s statement Wednesday said the factors holding inflation below its 2 percent target rate have intensified since its last meeting in December. Inflation has stayed ultra-low partly because of a plunge in energy prices and a steadily strengthening dollar.
