January 13, 2021Domestic spot gold closed at Rs 49,479 per 10 grams on Wednesday, and silver at Rs 65,445 per kilogram - both rates excluding GST, according to Mumbai-based industry body India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA). In the international market, gold was trading with gains at $1,857 per ounce, while silver was quoting flat at $25.48 per ounce.
“COMEX gold trades about 0.9 per cent higher near $1961/oz after a 0.4 per cent decline yesterday. Gold trades higher supported by retreat in the US dollar index after recent gains. Also supporting the price is hopes of higher US stimulus, rising virus cases and impeachment proceedings against US President Trump. However, weighing on price is the lack of ETF buying and progress on vaccination. Gold may remain choppy amid lack of fresh triggers however general bias may be on the upside owing to increased stimulus expectations,'' said Ravindra Rao, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.
Meanwhile, the rupee gained for the second straight day and climbed 10 paise against the US dollar on January 13, to settle at 73.15 (provisional) supported by sustained foreign fund inflows. Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, rose 0.18 per cent to $ 56.68 per barrel.
