'Spot gold prices (24 carats) in the Delhi markets are trading at Rs 63,650 per 10 grams, up Rs 200, taking cues from the overseas markets,' Saumil Gandhi, senior analyst of commodities at HDFC Securities, said.

In the international markets, spot gold at Comex was trading higher at $2,054 per ounce, up USD 10 from the previous close.

Traders are looking for U.S. non-farm payrolls data to be released on Friday, which could offer more cues on the macro front for the U.S. Fed's monetary policy outlook, Gandhi added.
