The gain appeared in several market reports, including USA Today and Yahoo Finance. Regional price updates also were reported from India, but the main driver was expectations around the Fed.
The Federal Reserve's decision was due later that day. Investors prepared for a possible rate cut or pause. Gold remained weak under the same expectations.
