How Gold Performed In The Previous Session
Gold prices extended their losses in the Delhi bullion market during Friday’s trade, slipping to their lowest level in nearly three weeks. The price of 99.9 per cent pure gold fell by ₹800 to Rs 1,45,500 per 10 grams, compared with Rs 1,46,300 in the previous session, according to the All India Sarafa Association.
In overseas markets, spot gold gained $15.42, or 0.39 per cent, to trade at $3,992 per ounce.
MCX Gold Futures Ended Lower on Friday
Gold futures had closed lower in the previous trading session before rebounding today. The August delivery contract on MCX declined by Rs 248, or 0.18 per cent, to settle at Rs 1,40,100 per 10 grams on Friday amid weak spot demand. Globally, New York gold futures also slipped 0.23 per cent to $3,985.52 per ounce.
Market participants attributed the earlier decline to subdued buying in the physical market. Traders also noted that after remaining stable for two sessions, gold prices resumed their downward trajectory and touched a three-week low before today’s recovery in futures trading.
