Gold price in India climbed to yet another record high of Rs 53,865 per 10 gm today after WHO warned that there might never be a "silver bullet" for COVID-19 in the form of a perfect vaccine and that the road to normality would be long.
The rapid rise in coronavirus cases globally has dampened hopes for an economic recovery. Weakness in the dollar also helped the bullion inch higher.
Escalating tensions between the US and China, expectations of more stimulus measures on hold, a weak US dollar and rise in cases of coronavirus infections across the globe have kept demand for gold high.

Geojit Financial Services said in a note,"Prices need to break the immediate upside obstacle of $1990 to trigger the next wave of bullish rallies in the counter.
