Globally, gold slipped as risk appetite revived in global financial markets, lifting equities, but the precious metal was not far off a six-week high hit overnight as investors remained cautious over political tensions between Russia and the West.
Spot gold was down 0.3 per cent at USD 1,348.65 per ounce at early trade.
In other precious metals, spot silver was flat at USD 16.66 per ounce.
