Gold price rises again in global market
Gold prices edged up in early trading on Wednesday (August 19) in the global market. The uptick came as US Treasury bond yields eased from recent highs, boosting the precious metal.

However, investors' attention is now on the minutes of the US Federal Reserve's latest meeting. It may provide important clues about central bank officials' stance on interest rates and the possible direction of future policy.
