India's gold futures are likely to extend the previous session's gains on Friday morning to hit a fresh peak and may rise above Rs 27,500, following a rally in the world market, analysts said.
International spot gold surged to record highs on Friday for a second consecutive session as investors reached for the safety of bullion amid a worsening economic outlook for the United States and concern about the health of Europe's banks.
The most-traded gold for October delivery on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) closed 2.96% higher at Rs 27,174 per 10 grams in the previous session. It hit a record peak of Rs 27,214 on Thursday.
The rupee plays an important role in determining the landed cost of the yellow metal and copper, which are quoted in dollars. The rupee slid to its lowest in over six months on Thursday. India's currency, bond and interbank cash markets will be closed on Friday for a local holiday.
Copper:
India's copper futures are likely to open steady with a positive bias on Friday morning on marginal gains in the London market, analysts said.
London copper inched up on Friday, after dropping more than 2% in the previous session, while a slew of lacklustre US data and lingering worries about euro zone debts continued to weigh on sentiment.
The most-active copper for August delivery on MCX last closed 0.63% lower at Rs 401.8 per kg.
