Gold prices rallied by Rs 1,300 to Rs 1,25,900 per 10 grams in the national capital on Monday amid strong global cues and a weak dollar, according to the All India Sarafa Association. The precious metal of 99.5 per cent purity climbed by Rs 1,300 to Rs 1,25,300 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes) against Rs 1,24,000 per 10 grams on Friday. In the local bullion market, gold of 99.9 per cent purity had settled at Rs 1,24,600 per 10 grams in the previous market session. "Gold resumed trading on a positive note, supported by ongoing safe-haven demand and weaker US macroeconomic data that heightened expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in next month's meeting," Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst - Commodities at HDFC Securities, said. He noted that a softer dollar has provided further support for bullion. In addition, silver prices bounced by Rs 2,460 to Rs 1,55,760 per kilogram (inclusive of all taxes) on Monday. The white metal had finished at Rs 1,53,300 per kg on Friday,
