“Spot gold of 24 karat in Delhi were trading marginal up by Rs 22,” HDFC Securities Senior Analyst (Commodities) Tapan Patel said.
He said gold prices traded up on concerns of global economic growth after crude oil prices plunged by more than 30 per cent. “Gold prices may trade in the upper trading range amid ongoing oil market turmoil and carnage in global equity markets.”
Gold prices may get support from lower interest rates and fall in bond yields fetching safe haven investment, he said.
Meanwhile, in the domestic equity market, the Sensex plummeted over 1,941 points on Monday, wiping off investor wealth worth around 7 lakh crore, following meltdown in global markets led by heightened volatility due to rapidly-spreading coronavirus and free fall in oil prices.
