Gold futures prices edged up by 0.19 per cent to 27,399 per 10 grams today, tracking a firming trend overseas as a weaker dollar raised the demand for the metal.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in February rose Rs 52 or 0.19 per cent to Rs 27,399 per 10 grams with a business turnover of 2,095 lots. Similarly, April contract moved up by Rs 46 or 0.17 per cent to Rs 27,770 per 10 grams with a trade volume of 232 lots.
