Domestic yellow metal futures traded on a positive note in Thursday’s session tracking international rates as investors eyed U.S non-farm payrolls which can likely provide cues on interest rate path taken by the US Federal Reserve.

In the previous session, both gold and silver gained almost 1 per cent as bond yields fell following weaker-than-expected U.S. private payrolls data, bolstering expectations that the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates later this year. U.S. Treasury yields dropped to their lowest since April 5 after data revealed that U.S. private payrolls increased less than anticipated in May.
