New Delhi, Jun 11 (PTI) Gold prices rose by Rs 150 to Rs 71,950 per 10 grams in the national capital on Tuesday in line with firm trends in the international markets, according to HDFC Securities.
The precious metal had ended at Rs 71,800 per 10 grams on Monday.

In the global markets, spot gold at Comex was trading at USD 2,303 per ounce, up USD 10 from the previous close.
Gold rose on Tuesday as traders covered their shorts ahead of the US Federal Reserve's meeting outcome and US inflation data, which may provide fresh clues about the timing of the interest rate cuts, Gandhi said.
"...US Treasury yields and the US dollar also fell from their recent highs providing support for the precious metal prices," he added.
