Gold prices soared to a high of 2065.38 based on Ticktrader FXOpen. Gold prices appear to rise because the dollar's strengthening was restrained after the FOMC.

As reported, the Fed lowered expectations of cutting interest rates until at least March, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that the central bank needs greater confidence that inflation will reach the target

Before the meeting, the market estimated that the chance of an interest rate cut in March was 50: 50, but the probability now looks to be only 35%. However, financial markets still expect the US central bank to cut interest rates by almost 150 basis points this year.

The strengthening of gold may also have been triggered by the news of the surprising loss of Community Bancorp bank in New York which threatened the stability of the US banking system. The bank's shares fell 45% after suffering sudden losses due to worsening credit quality and lower dividends.
