Support from the weaker US dollar, rising virus cases, and loose monetary policy stance of major central banks is countered by some upbeat economic readings, general progress on vaccination, and weaker investor interest.
  • Gold may remain choppy ahead of the Fed decision however general bias is still positive amid persistent weakness in the US dollar.
