"Spot gold prices for 24 carat in Delhi were higher by Rs 418 with rally in international prices. However, the upside in gold prices in India was capped with gains in rupee," HDFC Securities Senior Analyst (Commodities) Tapan Patel said.
The rupee strengthened 73 paise and crossed the crucial 73-mark against the US dollar on Tuesday on the back of a weak American currency and positive domestic equities.

"Gold prices extended gains with dollar decline," Patel said.
