Gold Edges Up from Six-Day Low as Fed Decision Looms

The precious metal saw slight gains after slipping to its lowest level in six sessions. Prices hovered around the $4,000 mark, with traders reluctant to commit ahead of the Fed's rate verdict.

Market attention is centered on the central bank's forward guidance and any hints about the timing of future rate moves. A hawkish tilt could pressure gold further, while a dovish surprise might spark a stronger rebound.

Trading volumes remained thin in Asian hours, reflecting a cautious stance. The next major directional move is expected once the Fed decision and accompanying statement are released.
