The Metals:

 

Gold saw decent gains in Asia and London and climbed $16.10 to as high as $1326.50 in late morning New York trade before it pared back to $1319.40 just after today’s fed statement was released, but it then rose to new session highs into the close and ended near its last-minute high of $1335.60 with a gain of 1.76%. Silver surged to as high as $16.636 and ended with a gain of 2.47%.

 

Euro gold rose to about €1080, platinum gained $16 to $957, and copper climbed 4 cents to about $3.07.

 

Gold and silver equities rose over 2% by late morning before they roughly halved their gains about 30 minutes after the fed’s statement, but they stormed back higher in the last hour and a half of trade and ended over 3% higher on the day.

The Markets:

 

Oil extended higher after the Energy Information Administration reported that crude inventories fell 2.6 million barrels, gasoline inventories fell 1.7 million barrels, and distillates fell 2.0 million barrels.

 

The U.S. dollar index fell markedly after the fed failed to increase the number of expected interest rate hikes from 3 to 4 this year.

 

Treasuries traded mixed and ended slightly lower along with the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P on uncertainty over what to make of the continuance of gradual policy moves from the fed.
