HDFC Securities Senior Analyst (Commodities) Tapan Patel said, “Gold prices traded higher with spot prices at COMEX (New York-based commodities exchange) trading at USD 1,777 per ounce on Monday.”
He added that gold prices pared some of the previous losses as weaker dollar supported prices to trade firms.
