Recovering from their yesterday's loss, gold prices in futures trade moved higher by Rs.250 Wednesday, tracking uptrend in international markets as solid physical demand encouraged speculative buying.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), metal for delivery in June contracts rose by Rs 250 to trade higher at Rs 26,414 per ten grams.

Similarly, Silver for delivery in May contracts increased by Rs 421 to Rs 43,235 per Kg.

Gold prices fell by up to Rs 60 at the Mumbai bullion market today following reduced demand from traders and jewellers. Silver also fell by Rs 550 to Rs 44,600 per kg.

Standard gold of 99.5 percent purity and pure gold of 99.9 percent purity both traded down by Rs 60 and Rs 55 at Rs 26,570 and Rs 26,710 per ten grams, respectively.

Speculative buying after yesterday's fall pushed gold price in international markets higher by 0.86 percent on Wednesday.

Support also came from weak German economic data, which fanned speculation the European Central Bank could cut interest rates.

But strong US dollar coupled with firming equities and continuous decline in holdings by exchange-traded funds looks set to cap prices.

Gold in overseas markets, which normally set price trend on the domestic front, rebounded by USD 15.90 or 1.12 percent to USD 1,429.50 per ounce.

In international markets gold prices sank to around USD 1,321 on April 16, the lowest in more than two years, in a sell-off that surprised ardent gold investors and bulls.
