Gold Slips Tracking Global Cues
Gold futures slipped in the noon trade on Monday tracking globally cues. International gold hovered at three high as equities slipped across the world.

International gold was seen trading at $1,138 an ounce which touched $1,141.50 in the previous session.
Hike in interest rate would negatively impact on the gold sentiment as investor would shift focus from gold to other investments.
