Gold futures closed higher in the domestic market on Thursday as expectations of higher U.S. interest rates later this year and the passage of the Republican tax bill have failed to give the dollar a lift, helping gold, in part because traders wonder how much the tax reforms will actually boost the economy. A weaker dollar tends to provide a boost to dollar-pegged commodities, including gold, making them more attractive to users of weaker monetary units. Gold, which is priced in dollars, is highly sensitive to moves in its exchange rate. The two assets typically move inversely. And stock gains tend to, but don’t always, lure investors away from haven gold. At the MCX, gold futures for February 2017 contract ended at Rs 29227 per 10 grams, up by 0.01 per cent, after opening at Rs 29,187 against a previous close of Rs 29,225. It touched the intra-day high of Rs 29,245.
