Mumbai, January 16: The gold rates in the India market remained muted on Thursday tracking global sentiments. Gold futures on MCX were up 0.06 percent to Rs 39,635 per 10 gram. The details of the US-China Phase 1 trade deal failed to soothe the concerns of the investors.

According to a Reuters report, the US and China signed the trade deal but still kept 25 percent tariffs on a $250 billion array of Chinese industrial goods and components used by US manufacturers, according to a Reuters report.
