Gold ends higher at $4,296.15 despite rate-hike talk tied to oil and yields

Gold and silver both finished Tuesday higher on our feed, even as much of the day’s news flow focused on rising rate-hike odds, higher Treasury yields, and oil-driven inflation concerns. Several outlets said that backdrop kept gold pressured below $4,300 and limited buying interest ahead of the Fed decision.
