Gold prices rose Rs 80 to Rs 28,966 per 10 grams at the futures trade today as speculators enlarged their positions driven by a firming global trend.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in December rose Rs 80 or 0.28 per cent to Rs 28,966 per 10 grams with a business turnover of 7,362 lots.
Similarly, the metal for delivery in February gained Rs 69 or 0.24 per cent to Rs 29,266 per 10 grams with a trade volume of 524 lots.
