Gold was steady around $2,650 an ounce on Tuesday ahead of a two-day Federal Reserve meeting, with investors eyeing the central bank's 2025 outlook. The Fed is widely expected to deliver a 25bps interest rate cut, but uncertainty remains about the extent of future easing, especially with the prospect of higher inflation under the incoming Trump administration.
Recent data showed that U.S. private sector activity grew at a faster pace in December, suggesting the Fed may limit rate cuts next year, which could dampen demand for the precious metal. However, bullion has gained about 29% this year, on track for its biggest annual gain since 2010, which has been driven by easing U.S. policy, strong demand for safe-haven assets and continued buying by global central banks.
