Navneet Damani, Senior VP – Commodities Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services, said, “Gold inched lower after the FOMC policy meet which was in-line with the market expectations, as the Fed decided on March rate hikes that pushed up US Treasury yields and the dollar, while uncertainty over Ukraine capped bullion’s losses.”
