Summary
- Gold prices surged to $4,100 per ounce following the Fed's rate decision.

- Rising inflationary risks from Middle East conflict underpin gold's rise.
Gold experienced a significant climb, reaching as high as $4,100 per ounce. This surge occurred immediately following the US Federal Reserve's decision to maintain current interest rates. The Federal Reserve's policy-making committee voted 9-3 to keep rates steady.
This decision by the Fed was made even as inflationary risks escalate, largely driven by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The geopolitical tensions in the region are contributing to market uncertainty and are a key factor supporting the rise in bullion prices.
