Similarly, the yellow metal for delivery in far-month December contracts traded higher by Rs 127, or 0.40 per cent to Rs 31,638 per ten grams in 75 lots.
Analysts attributed the rise in gold futures prices to a firming trend overseas where gold advanced for a second straight day amid speculation that the US central bank will be slow to raise interest rates, with investors counting down to the release of the Federal Reserve's minutes of its July meeting as the dollar declined.
