In the international market, gold was trading firm at $ 1,870.50 an ounce while silver was up at $ 25.83 an ounce.“COMEX gold trades marginally higher near $1869/oz after a 1.4 per cent gain yesterday. Gold is supported by weakness in the US dollar; increased US stimulus expectations; rising virus cases and increased US-China tensions. However; weighing on price is vaccine progress and weaker investor interest as is evident from ETF flows. Gold's break past the $1860/oz may lead to extended gains however the momentum may sustain only if there is progress on US stimulus talks,'' said Ravindra Rao, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.
Meanwhile, the rupee maintained its three-session winning streak and gained six paise against the US dollar on Thursday, to close at a near five-month high mark of 72.99, amid strong domestic equities and weaker American currency.
