Silver also recaptured the Rs 39,000-mark by gaining Rs 200 to Rs 39,100 per kg due to uptick in demand from industrial units and coin makers.
Marketmen said a firm global trend as dollar's weakness raised the demand for the precious metals as a safe-haven, mainly buoyed sentiment.
Globally, gold rose 0.3 per cent to $1,250.50 an ounce and silver by 0.66 per cent to $16.74 an ounce in Singapore.
In addition, increased buying by local jewellers at the domestic spot market also supported the upmove in gold.
