Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen braved mounting opposition inside and outside the U.S. central bank and delayed an interest-rate increase again to give the economy more room to run.

While agreeing that the case for a rate rise had strengthened, Yellen on Wednesday argued that it made sense to put off a move for now amid signs that discouraged Americans who dropped out of the labor market are returning and looking for work.

Look at that; the Fed found an excuse... quelle suprise!! Gold and silver blasted off in response (and if there was less manipulation, they'd be up considerably more, just to preserve their pre-hike-headfake momentum...)
