5 Things to know about gold price rises on buying by Jewellers

Gold price touched Rs. 32,450 in Delhi today. A pick-up witnessed in buying by jewellers helped domestic gold price regain some of the strength, say traders. Gold price in the national capital surged by Rs. 165 to Rs. 32,450 per 10 grams, news agency Press Trust of India reported. Dollar strength against a basket of currencies, including the rupee, offset gold's safe-haven appeal.

In the international market, gold price moved sideways, buoyed by safe-haven demand with upside potential restricted by a firm dollar and outlook for higher interest rates in the US. Spot gold was nearly unchanged at $1,311.51 per ounce, news agency Reuters reported.
