Precious metal prices have broken a series of records over the past few weeks amid rising COVID-19 cases around the globe and worsening ties between the world's two largest economies. Typically, any sign of uncertainty in the financial markets boosts the appeal of gold as a safe-haven bet, as investors rush away from riskier asset classes.
In the international market, spot gold retreated on Wednesday as the dollar briefly halted its slide and investors booked profits after prices hit a record high in the last session.
Spot gold was last seen trading down 0.40 per cent at $1,950.64 per ounce, a day after hitting an all-time high of $1,980.57 per ounce.

Meanwhile, domestic stock markets were stuck in a narrow range on Wednesday, fluctuating between gains and losses, as gains in banking and metal shares were countered by losses in IT and energy stocks.
Since March, domestic commodity exchanges have trimmed trading hours on account of pandemic-related restrictions.
What Analysts Say On Gold Rates
"Gold hit a record high level of $1,974.7/oz in intraday trade and corrected till $1900.2/oz before ending moderately higher at $1,944.6. Gold continues to hold above $1,900/oz level which shows that the momentum is still positive. However, it now needs a fresh trigger to extend the gains beyond the highs tested yesterday," said Ravindra Rao, VP-head commodity research, Kotak Securities.
"Federal Reserve's dovish stance has been factored in. So, unless there is some surprise, gold could see some correction,” Mr Rao added.
