Gold price today: Yellow metal gains as China virus spreads; buy on dips

India Gold February futures rose on January 27 tracking gains in the international market as spot gold climbed to a more than two-week high on rising concerns over the spread of a virus outbreak in China.

The new coronavirus in China has killed 80 and infected more than 2,000, as residents of Hubei province, where the disease originated, were banned from entering Hong Kong amid global efforts to halt the rapid spread of the outbreak, said a Reuters report.

On the MCX, gold contracts for February were trading higher by Rs 233, or 0.58 percent, at Rs 40,585 per 10 gram at 0920 hours.

Gold and silver prices gained last week after the death toll rose in China from Coronavirus. The initial reports suggest that the Virus is also spreading to other countries from China.
