Gold jewellery prices vary in different parts of India - the second largest consumer of the precious metal - due to factors such as excise duty, state taxes and making charges.
In the international market, gold prices inched up after a recent steep decline, boosted by hopes of a dovish monetary policy outlook from the US central bank.
Domestic stock markets rose nearly 1 per cent on Tuesday led by gains in financials and pharmaceutical stocks, as the economy limped back into operation following the world's biggest coronavirus lockdown.

Gold Price: What Analysts Say On Current Gold Rate
“COMEX gold is trading mixed near $1705/oz after a 1.3 per cent gain yesterday. Even after a firm equity market, gold has held the support of $1680. Gold has got support from mixed economic data, choppy US dollar, US-China tensions and global stimulus measures,” said Ravindra Rao, VP-head commodity research at Kotak Securities.
"Gold might continue to hold in a broad range of $1680-1750/oz. We may see range bound trade ahead of the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) decision this week however general bias may be on the downside owing to strength in the equity market,” he added.
