Gold prices traded marginally higher by 0.07 per cent to Rs 32,133 per 10 grams at the futures trade today as speculators created fresh positions in line with a firm global trend.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in February rose Rs 24 or 0.07 per cent to Rs 32,133 per 10 grams in a business turnover of 120 lots.
Similarly, the metal for delivery in December edged up by Rs 7 or 0.02 per cent to Rs 31,726 per 10 grams in 1,618 lots.
Market analysts said fresh positions built-up by speculators in tandem with a firm global trend on concerns that US lawmakers may fail to reach an agreement on the budget by year-end mainly influenced gold prices at the futures trade.
