• MCX gold futures fell 0.2% to Rs 1,37,735 per 10 grams, despite Comex spot prices gaining over 2% this week.
• Comex spot gold stood at $4,444.46 an ounce, down 0.27% from its previous close but up 2.19% weekly.
• Rupee strengthened to 89.861 against the US dollar, limiting domestic gold gains, according to Jateen Trivedi.
• Gold prices vary across Indian cities due to local taxes, margins, and logistics costs.
• Upcoming US economic data (ADP non-farm employment, payrolls, jobless claims) expected to add volatility to gold prices.
