Gold futures in India are likely to open a tad higher on Tuesday, extending gains from their highest level in nearly six weeks following overseas markets, though a strong rupee could weigh later in the session.
The most-active gold for February delivery on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) ended 0.25% higher at Rs 28,059 per 10 grams on Monday, after hitting a high of Rs 28,094, a level last seen on December 21.
