In Chennai, 24-carat and 22-carat gold is trading at Rs 53,340 and Rs 48,900, respectively.

Gold prices drifted higher on Friday helped by a drop in U.S. Treasury yields and setting the metal on path for a fourth straight week of gains, as investors took stock of the recent inflation data out of the United States.

Although gold is seen as a hedge against inflation, higher US interest rates dull non-yielding bullion's appeal.
