Last seen, MCX gold futures (Oct 5) were up flat at Rs 59,465 per 10 grams at the last count, having traded between Rs 59,282 and Rs 59,325 earlier in the day. Silver futures (Sept 5) were down Rs 147 or 0.19 per cent at Rs 76,133 per kg.

"Spot Gold continued to extend its advance as the latest GDP report from the US showed the country's economy expanded less than initially projected in the second quarter, while ADP and the JOLTs releases suggested further cooling in the labor market which kept the sentiments supportive. However focus now shifts to the US PCE Index along with the payrolls report due Friday. The slowdown seen in private sector hiring could likely keep payroll growth moderate which could again keep sentiments positive for precious metals. However volatility may persist since gold had already risen more than 3 per cent around weekly highs so far in Spot this week," said Neha Qureshi, Senior Technical & Derivative Research Analyst, Anand Rathi Commodities & Currencies.
