Also, investors opted to book profits ahead of the crucial US inflation data to be released later in the day for more direction on the trajectory of bullion prices, Kalantri added. Meanwhile, spot gold rose by USD 20.62 or 0.62 per cent to USD 3,364.14 per ounce in the international markets. 'Gold remains range-bound despite elevated geopolitical and trade tensions.
