Federal Reserve to remain on hold for the rest of 2019 – World Gold Council

The World Gold Council (WGC) on Tuesday released its latest ‘Investment Update: The impact of monetary policy on gold’ publication, in which it outlines expectations that the upcoming Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting on March 20 will confirm market expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will hold interest rates steady for the rest of the year.

This, in turn, will likely influence gold’s performance, the council said.
