NEW DELHI: Gold futures prices today rose marginally by 0.09 per cent to Rs 30,441 per 10 grams as speculators enlarged positions in tandem with a firm global trend amid rising spot demand.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in December rose by Rs 28, or 0.09 per cent, to Rs 30,441 per 10 grams, with a business turnover of 55 lots.
Likewise, the metal for delivery in October edged up by Rs 26, or 0.09 per cent, to Rs 30,080 per 10 grams in 1,670 lots.
Marketmen attributed the rise in gold futures to a firm global trend on speculation that central banks across the world are poised to step up stimulus measures to counter an economic slowdown, boosting investment demand for the metal.
Besides, an upward trend in domestic spot markets on the back of festive demand also supported the upside, they said.
Meanwhile, gold gained 0.3 per cent to USD 1,613.70 an ounce in early trade today in Singapore.
