"Gold prices traded marginally up with spot gold prices at COMEX trading at $ 1,827 per ounce on Friday," Tapan Patel, Senior Analyst (commodities) at HDFC Securities, said.

Gold prices pared some of the previous gains following stronger dollar and rally in U.S. bond yields he added.

"However, the yellow metal has kept firm as the US CPI rose in January to 7.50% which capped the downside as inflation hedge," Mr. Patel added.
