The uptrend was mirrored in the futures market as well.

Internationally, precious metals were also traded in the firm. Gold was up 0.77 per cent at $4,198 per ounce, while silver rose 1.60 per cent to $51.80 per ounce.
Analysts said gold crossing $4,150 per ounce globally and INR 1.25 lakh per 10 grams domestically signals persistent bullishness in the market.
Going forward, traders will closely watch upcoming US economic data and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision, which will play a key role in shaping the metal’s trajectory.
"Gold traded positively with Comex prices rising above $4,150, while MCX gold gained INR 650 to trade at INR 1,25,900," said Jateen Trivedi of LKP Securities.
"The bullish momentum in gold continues, with prices up nearly 2.5 per cent since Monday’s opening. Market focus now shifts to key US economic data, including GDP and the Core PCE Price Index, which will guide short-term direction. Gold is expected to remain volatile within a range of INR 1,24,000–INR 1,27,500," Trivedi said.
