HDFC Securities Senior Analyst (Commodities) Tapan Patel said, “Spot gold prices for 24 karat in Delhi rallied by Rs 382 reflecting gains in COMEX (New York-based commodity exchange) gold prices.”

In the international market, gold was trading with gains at $1,817 per ounce and silver was marginally higher at $25.42 per ounce.

Motilal Oswal Financial Services Vice-President (Commodities Research) Navneet Damani said, “Gold price edged higher, as the latest insistence from the US Fed governor that rate increases aren’t on the radar, put pressure on the dollar and support the safe-haven asset.”
