Gold Futures Edge Up In Electronic Trade As Fed Offers Few Clues On Next Move

Gold futures edged a bit higher in electronic trading from their Wednesday settlement level after theU.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, as expected, but offered few clues on the central bank's next move. April gold was at $1,209.80 an ounce in electronic trading. It had settled at $1,208.30 an ounce, down $3.10, or 0.3%, for the session.
