Sentiment bolstered after gold rose the most since September 2013 in global markets as the dollar weakened, amid expectations that borrowing costs in the US will remain low.

The worsening crisis in Iraq also fuelled demand for bullion as an alternative investment.

Gold in global markets, which normally sets price trend on the domestic front, climbed to $1,322.12 an ounce in Singapore, the highest level since April 12.

In additions, depreciating rupee against the dollar which make imports of gold costlier also influenced the sentiment, they said.
