The price of gold in spot transactions rose 0.1 percent to $ 1920.45 an ounce (an ounce) at 1920 GMT, after it fell during the session by as much as 1.2 percent to $ 1894.70, in light of the jump recorded by the US Treasury bond yields following the central bank announcement.
And US gold futures fell 1.1 percent at settlement to $ 1908.40.
Gold is very sensitive to rising interest rates, as this increases the cost of holding bullion that does not yield a return, while supporting the dollar priced in it.
However, the dollar index fell 0.5% against a basket of currencies, making gold less expensive for holders of other currencies, while the benchmark 10-year Treasury bonds also fell from recent highs.
In terms of other metals, the price of silver in spot transactions rose 0.3 percent to $ 24.94 an ounce, and platinum jumped 3.3 percent to $ 1018.65.
As for palladium, it fell 0.2 percent to $ 2418.56 an ounce, amid ebbing concerns about supply.
