On Monday, gold suffered in the futures trade market as currencies and equity markets gained, shifting traders' bets away from the metal. In the international market, the yellow metal was trading near its two-week low of $1,274.51 an ounce it hit on Friday, after data showed American consumer sentiment jumped to a 15-year high in early May amid growing confidence over US economy's outlook. Spot gold was broadly unchanged at $1,276.79 per ounce in the morning session.
Domestic factors
In the Indian market, equity benchmark indices made solid gains post the exit poll results that indicated a landslide victory for the BJP-led NDA in the Lok Sabha 2019 elections.
Further, the rupee rose sharply against the US dollar. It was trading 64 paise higher at 69.58 per dollar from its previous close.
Gold prices ease on rupee's gains as it makes the US dollar-traded metal cheaper for buyers in the domestic currency.
