Analysts said the rise in gold prices was mostly attributed to a firming trend overseas after US economic data backed the case for the Federal Reserve to maintain stimulus, raising appeal for the precious metals, and ongoing festive and wedding season demand at domestic markets.

Globally, gold climbed 0.60% to trade at five weeks high of $1,360.76 an ounce in Singapore today.
