Gold rose on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve kept its target rate at 1-1.25% but signaled it remained on track for a December hike. Spot gold traded about 0.4% higher near US$1,276 an ounce, after breaking above its 100-day moving average.
Expected US rate increases lift the dollar and raise the opportunity cost of holding gold, which limits bullion gains. For feed markets, a firmer dollar tends to weigh on dollar-priced commodities.
