US gold prices ticked up on Thursday, aided by a weaker dollar and economic worries, while investors seek further clarity on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path.
Spot gold rose 0.2 per cent to $2,032.58 per ounce as of 0131 GMT. US gold futures were also up 0.2 per cent at $2,041.80.
The dollar index slipped 0.1 per cent, making the dollar-priced bullion more affordable for overseas buyers.
"Whilst gold remains supported overall, it doesn’t look overly happy at these highs and investors seem quick to book profits with any break above $2,050 for now," said Matt Simpson, senior market analyst at City Index.
Bullion prices initially rose on Wednesday after US inflation data was released, before turning negative on profit taking.
The price of 1 kg of silver in Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad is Rs 82,700.
