Near month contract of gold on Multi Commodity Exchange was trading at Rs 29,273 per 10 grams. On international markets, gold is trading above $1,300 per ounce, and is currently at $1,306. The last time gold was above $1,300 was in early November.
Analysts say that technically $1,270 per ounce was a strong resistance level for gold, which was broken last night and caused the yellow metal to rally. Also, weak US retail sales data caused investors to rush to gold as a safe haven asset.
Silver on the other hand opened much higher and is currently trading at Rs 45,469 per kilogram, up by 1.22%.
