Mumbai: India gold futures extended gains for a third straight day on Monday helped by a weak rupee that made imported yellow metal expensive, analysts said.
The most active August gold contract was 0.37 per cent higher at Rs 14,553 per 10 grams at 11:19 a.m., after gaining 0.13 per cent in the previous two sessions.
The Indian rupee extended losses after falling the most in four months last week, as banks bought dollars in anticipation of foreign fund outflows from local shares.
"Gold may remain sideways on absence of major data points," said Aurobinda Prasad, deputy manager-research, with Karvy Comtrade.
Gold may be in the range of Rs 14,440-14,580, said B G Manjunath Prasad, a technical analyst with Way 2 Wealth Securities.
Open interest for August gold on MCX was at 12,717 lots, up from 12,393 a day earlier. Volume on Saturday was 0.88 kg.
