Gold prices were little changed on Monday, but held near the previous session's low, pressured by a firmer dollar and expectations of a series of interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve this year and in 2018.
Spot gold was nearly unchanged at $1,275.63 per ounce at 0431 GMT. On Friday, gold dropped 0.7 percent for its biggest one-day percentage fall since Oct. 26, weighed down by a rise in U.S. Treasury bond yields.
The Sensex was down 63.44 points at 33251.12, while the Nifty was down 33.30 points at 10288.50.
The market breadth was negative as 1055 shares advanced against a decline of 1,095 shares, while 86 shares were unchanged.
