Indicators: 

The uncertainty over US elections coupled with rising number of coronavirus infections in Europe and US would continue to play on the price of bullion. While the trend continues to have a positive bias, gold and silver may see two-way trading in the near term. 

U.S. gold futures were up 0.5 per cent at USD 1,877. 

The price may also vary depending upon how the dollar behaves. Gold and dollar have an inverse relationship. Dollar index fell by 0.2 per cent on Friday against a basket of currencies, making bullion cheaper for holders of other currencies, Reuters reported.
