Gold steady, Platinum at its highest

Gold prices were little changed on Wednesday as investors waited for the Federal Reserve’s policy decision and comments from Chair Jerome Powell, while platinum surged to a more than four-year peak.

Spot gold was steady at $3,387.89 an ounce by 1145 a.m. EDT (1545 GMT).

“The prevailing trend of seeking alternative stores of value beyond the U.S. dollar remains strong, driven by a growing desire for assets that are independent of external control,” said Ryan McIntyre, Managing Partner at Sprott Inc.

Spot silver fell 1% to $36.87 per ounce

Platinum added 3.5% to $1,306.68, highest since February 2021.
