Spot gold fell about 1.2% to $1,785.36 an ounce on December 15 after the Fed signaled that rates would stay higher for longer. The dollar advanced on the hawkish message, and gold had briefly dropped as much as 2%.
The European Central Bank and Bank of England also raised rates by half a point.
Gold is a non-yielding asset, so higher rates and a firmer dollar weigh on it. The move reflects broader rate and currency pressure rather than any agricultural supply change.
