Gold prices rose by Rs 23 to Rs 20,683 per 10 grams in futures trading today as speculators enlarged their positions, supported by a firm global trend.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in April rose by Rs 23, or 0.11%, to Rs 20,683 per 10 grams, with a business turnover of two lots.

June gold gained Rs 10, or 0.05%, to Rs 20,955, with an open interest of a single lot.

Analysts said increased buying by speculators in tandem with a firming global trend mainly led to the rise in gold futures prices.
