The direction of gold will be clearer this week after the US Federal Reserve (Fed) decides on monetary policy at its meeting on September 20-21 (US time). Experts predict that the Fed will most likely not raise interest rates, but will maintain them at current high levels.

According to the CME FedWatchTool, there is a 60% chance that interest rates will remain unchanged between now and the end of the year.

Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA, said central banks are signaling the end of their rate-hike cycle, making gold more attractive.

Although it does not seem ready to break out yet, the dovish moves by the world's central banks continue to support gold prices.

Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at SIA Wealth Management, said gold will rise but will find it difficult to break above $1,980 an ounce before the Fed meeting.

While caught between inflation and recession, Cieszynski said the long-term outlook for gold is bullish.
