Gold Gains On Fresh Buying
Traders said domestic gold prices edged higher on improved demand from jewellers and stockists; however, a stronger rupee capped further gains.
"Gold advanced on Thursday amid a pullback in the US dollar following the Federal Reserve's latest policy announcement, increasing demand for the precious metal," said Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst - Commodities at HDFC Securities.
He added that the dollar index hovered around the 101 level after declining nearly 1 per cent in the previous session.
In the international markets, spot gold traded marginally higher at USD 4,071.55 per ounce and silver rose 1 per cent to USD 58.25 per ounce.
"Spot gold holds steady near USD 4,060 an ounce, silver near USD 57.5, as market participants digest the Fed's status quo ahead of US personal consumption expenditures inflation and jobless claims data later in the day," said Kaynat Chainwala, AVP, Commodity Research at Kotak Neo (formerly Kotak Securities).
She noted that precious metals are likely to stay volatile and range-bound in the near term, with Thursday's growth, labour and inflation numbers set to shape whether the case for a September move builds or eases, while traders will keep a watch on the trajectory of the US-Iran conflict for the medium-term outlook.
Demand Trends
Meanwhile, India's gold demand fell 6 per cent year-on-year to 131.4 tonnes in April-June, weighed down by seasonally subdued sales, higher customs duty and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to reduce purchases of the precious metal.
