Gold Prices Near Three-Week Highs on Diminished Rate Hike,...

On Wednesday, the price of gold remained close to its highest point in three weeks, following less-than-impressive U.S. job openings and consumer confidence data. This data has reduced expectations of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve for the remainder of the year.

- Spot gold maintained its position at $1,936.59 per ounce as of 0115 GMT, trading near its peak reached on Tuesday, which was the highest level since August 7th.
- Meanwhile, U.S. gold futures stabilized at $1,964.30.
