Gold rate today: Gold prices traded volatile in the domestic futures market on Wednesday morning ahead of the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision, as expectations are high that the Fed will embark on an aggressive rate-cutting regime.

In international markets, gold prices traded lacklustre as investors awaited the US Fed's outcome. While a 25 bps rate cut is fully priced in, a majority of investors now expect the US central bank to pursue a larger 50 bps rate cut.

According to a Reuters report, markets now see a 65 per cent chance of a 50-basis-point rate cut, compared to 34 per cent a week earlier, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

Spot gold prices in India have risen by around 16 per cent this year. Meanwhile, international gold prices have increased by more than 24 per cent.

This rise is due to several reasons, including expectations of interest rate cuts, more gold buying by central banks, uncertainty around the US elections, rising geopolitical tensions, and higher investments in gold through exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

With hopes of a significant rate reduction in the current rate-cut cycle, gold prices are expected to scale new highs in the coming months.
