 "Gold surges 1% on global cues, spot demand")
Taking positive cues from the global market and rising physical demand in spot markets at prevailing levels, gold continued its recovery, rising by nearly one% to Rs 26,069 per 10 gm in futures trade today.
Besides, covering-up by speculators who had created huge short positions, also helped gold to trade higher at futures trade. At the Multi Commodity Exchange, the most-active delivery in June contracts traded Rs 265, or 0.99%, higher at Rs 26,069 per 10 gm in a turnover of 5,506 lots.
Similarly, the metal for delivery in far-month August spurted by Rs 241, or 0.95% to Rs 26,475 per 10 gm, clocking a business volume of 155 lots. At the spot markets, gold traded Rs 250 higher at Rs 26,600 per 10 gm in the national capital.
Market analysts said recovery in the global markets as investors enlarged positions, taking advantage of the biggest plunge in prices in three decades, helped gold futures to extend its recovery move at futures trade.
Further, rising demand at current levels in the domestic spot market also influenced prices, they said. Globally, gold climbed 1.4% to $1,412.40 an ounce on the Comex in New York in yesterday's trade.
