Gold: Extra gains appear limited

Gold looks cautious ahead of FOMC

Prices of the ounce troy of the precious metal close just above the $2,000 mark on Wednesday. The uptick, however, was amidst a small pullback in open interest. That said, Gold prices are seen on a cautious tone around the $2,000 area ahead of the publication of the FOMC minutes later on Wednesday.
