Gold futures rise Rs 924 on firm spot demand
Gold is a shiny metal that people buy to keep their money safe.
In India, gold is also bought and sold on a special market called futures trading.
In futures trading, people agree today on a price for gold that will be delivered later.
Recently, the price of gold in this market went up by 924 rupees.
Now, 10 grams of gold costs about 1.54 lakh rupees.
The price went up because many buyers wanted gold, which is called strong demand.
Traders bought new contracts, and that pushed the price higher.
Other places in the world also saw gold prices go up.
In New York, the global price of gold also rose by a small amount.
Gold futures rose by Rs 924 to Rs 1.54 lakh per 10 grams.
October delivery contracts traded 0.6% higher in 848 lots.
Analysts attributed the rise to fresh positions by participants.
Fresh buying came on firm spot demand for the yellow metal.
