Gold futures prices recovered by 0.11 per cent to Rs 28,395 per 10 gram today as speculators enlarged their positions in tune with a better trend overseas.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in December was up by Rs 30 or 0.11 per cent to Rs 28,395 per 10 gram with a business turnover of 345 lots.
