Gold Under Pressure After Fed Rate Hike
Gold reversed sharply after the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points, taking the target range to 3.75%–4.00%.

📉 Spot Gold fell more than 1%, touching around $4,240/oz, after briefly climbing above $4,365/oz.

💵 A stronger U.S. dollar and expectations of further rate increases are currently weighing on gold.

👀 Key things to watch:
• Fed policy outlook
• U.S. Dollar
• Treasury yields
• Inflation data
• Geopolitical developments
Gold remains highly sensitive to changes in U.S. interest-rate expectations.
