In New York, June delivery gold futures grew 0.05%, trading at $1,257.64 a troy ounce. Meanwhile, copper futures slumped 0.91%, trading at $2,616 a pound.
Overnight, gold managed to pare losses, deriving benefits from a weaker greenback, as traders’ appetite for riskier assets sagged moderately ahead of the Fed’s interest rate verdict on Wednesday.
