In the international market, the price of gold climbed 1 per cent on a softer dollar, with an ultra-low interest rate environment and worries over global economic fallout from mounting COVID-19 cases underpinning its safe-haven appeal.
Spot gold was last seen trading 1 per cent higher at $1,936.99 per ounce.
Gold has been one of the most consistent gainers through the six months of coronavirus-led turmoil in financial markets, benefiting from a flood of capital into the world economy and investors seeking a relatively safe location to park money with interest rates at or near zero.
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.

What Analysts Say
“Gold has witnessed sharp volatility in last few sessions as market players assess further direction after the sharp correction from recent highs,” said Ravindra Rao, VP-head commodity research, Kotak Securities.
“Gold may witness choppy trade however for the day we expect selling pressure to emerge at higher levels as ETF (exchange traded fund) buying has slowed down while improved risk sentiment keeps bond yields and equity markets higher.”
