Stocks also vaulted up after the employment report was released, signaling fading demand for havens and a spike in risk appetite. At the MCX, Gold futures for August 2016 contract closed at Rs 31,090, per 10 gram, down by 1.68 per cent after opening at Rs 31,600, against the previous closing price of Rs 31,620.
