February began after the Federal Reserve’s January 29 decision to keep its target rate at 4.25%–4.50%. That published decision is the monetary-policy reference for this record; this article does not attribute new meeting minutes to February 1.
What this means for gold
Gold pays no regular interest. Interest rates, yields and currency movements can therefore help explain its relative appeal. A rate hold alone does not establish the direction of gold prices, however. A daily market account also needs a timestamped price and evidence relevant to that observation.
Limits of this record
This revised article does not certify an opening price for February 1. It excludes the earlier Jane Doe quotation, unsupported technical levels and trading instructions because their provenance was not established during review.
Editorial correction
The article has been rebuilt around information available before its original date. Unsupported figures and quotations have been removed. No later data have been presented as knowledge available on February 1.
