Analysts said recovery in gold prices in the global market, where it rebounded as the attacks in Paris reinvigorated bullion's traditional role as a haven, influenced gold prices at futures trade here.
Besides, covering-up short positions by speculators too helped gold to trade in positive terrain, they said.
Globally, the metal's rates advanced as much as 0.9 per cent to USD 1,093.74 an ounce in Singapore.
