In the international market, gold prices held above the key $1,700 per ounce support level, as a new wave of coronavirus infections in some countries raised expectations of further stimulus measures and lower interest rates.
Spot gold was last seen trading 0.5 per cent higher at $1,708.75 per ounce, having lost about 1 per cent in the previous session.
Domestic stock markets rose more than 2 per cent amid gains across sectors, led by financial, automobile and metal stocks.

Gold Price: What Analysts Say On Current Gold Rate
“Risk-on is weighing on gold as gains in equity market amid US-China efforts and easing of coronavirus-related restrictions and reopening of economies is impacting the yellow metals stance as a safe haven,” said Ravindra Rao, VP-head commodity research at Kotak Securities.
"SPDR ETF (exchange traded fund) holdings, which are at 2013 highs, are supporting the bull case in gold. Gold is expected to trade in a range until it is trading in a band of $1738-$1700 (per ounce),” he added.
