The precious metals trading finished before the decision on interest rates so traders refrained from giving direction to the markets in either direction in front of the Fed meeting on Tuesday afternoon. Some weakness in gold was witnessed when the dollar started to edge up after a surprise reduction of the U.S. trade deficit. The gap stood at $58.87 billion in October, compared with $64.26 billion in September.
