US gold prices lingered close to a two-month high today, after softer US economic readings last week cemented prospects of an interest rate cut in June by the Federal Reserve. 

Spot gold edged 0.1 per cent lower to $2,081.11 per ounce, as of 0400 GMT, but hovered near $2088.19, a level seen on Friday when the contract hit its highest since Dec. 28. U.S. gold futures fell 0.3 per cent to $2,090.00.

The US gold prices climbed about $50 last week, with absolutely all of the gains coming on the last two days on the back of poor US manufacturing and construction spending data and easing price pressures, as per to the Fed's preferred inflation gauge.

Spot platinum fell 0.7 per cent to $884.35 per ounce, and palladium rose 0.1 per cent to $956.53. Both metals have fallen more than 10 per cent so far this year. Spot silver fell 0.4 per cent to $23.06.

In Delhi and Mumbai, one kilogram of silver is currently trading at Rs 73,500. 

In Chennai, one kilogram of silver is trading at Rs 76,900.
