Gold Rate Today: Gold climbs on positive global cues\, an uptick in spot demand

NEW DELHI: Gold prices jumped in futures trade on Thursday, tracking positive sentiment in the global markets.

Gold prices scaled a more than one-week peak, as the dollar slipped after dovish remarks from the US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell boosted the case for an interest rate cut later this month, Reuters reported.

Under normal circumstances, gold and dollar share an inverse relationship. Since international gold is dollar-denominated, any weakness in the dollar pushes up gold prices.
