Reversing an early downward trend, gold recovered to trade above Rs 26,000 level by rising 0.33% to Rs 26,220 per 10 gm in futures trade today after it recovered in the global markets.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in far-month October gained Rs 87, or 0.33% to Rs 26,220 per ten gram in a turnover of 515 lots. It had touched a low of Rs 26,008 in early trade.
