The US dollar index declined by 0.1%, making gold priced in greenbacks more attractive to foreign buyers. Ajay Kedia, Director of Kedia Advisory, noted that gold prices received a boost from China's decision to lower key mortgage interest rates. Additionally, physical gold premiums in India surged to their highest levels in over four months as demand strengthened.
