New Delhi: Gold prices were up 0.49% in the domestic futures market in early trade on 21 May, buoyed by firm global markets after crude oil hit a new record high.
The mood of the market remained bullish after gold prices in global markets climbed to a near one-month high after crude oil surged to cross $129 dollars a barrel.
“Gold is climbing on the back of crude and a weakening dollar against Euro," said Rakesh Anand a gold trader at the MCX. “Rally in crude oil prices, triggered broad-based rally in other commodities such as silver and copper," he added.
