Gold futures finished higher, snapping fourth straight session sell off on Tuesday, amid technical buying and on safe haven bullion bets with the accelerating fears over surging Delta COVID-19 variant infections around the world. Even though, a stronger dollar and higher bond yields limited the gains in yellow metal rate.
Gold futures for December picked up by 0.3% or $5.2 to settle at $1,731.70 ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile. Spot gold higher by 0.1% to $1,730.93 per ounce.
