Gold futures rose on Thursday tracking global cues which recovered marginally from five-year low.

The dollar which fell against the basket of currencies supported the yellow metal. Gold and the dollar usually move in opposite directions, which means if the dollar goes up, gold will fall. This is because gold is measured by the dollar, which becomes more expensive for investors.
