Gold and silver are firm before the FOMC. Technically they are bullish. Uncertainty is there on vaccines, US presidential elections, among other set of short term and long term positive factors. Sharp correction in gold and silver (post press conference of Federal Reserve chairman) will be there if US ten year bond yields rise sharply.
Initial fall in gold and silver (post FOMC) will be met by investors and physical buyers. Bank of japan meeting, Bank of England meeting (in light of brexit issues) can cause greater short term volatility. People will exit gold ETF and go short in gold futures only if there is clear indication that gold prices will trade with a falling bias for week to a fortnight.
If the Federal Reserve does not say anything new on US economy, inflation or money supply then gold, silver will fall first, the US dollar Index will rise, US stock futures will also rise.
