New Delhi: Gold prices wrested control of the Rs29,000 level by rising Rs185 to Rs29,100 per 10 grams on Wednesday, taking strength from the scattered buying by local jewellers amid a firm trend overseas. However, silver met with resistance at existing levels and took hit of Rs215 at Rs39,600 per kg.
Gold prices firmed up after Tuesday’s decline, mainly because of fresh buying by local jewellers at the domestic spot market, coupled with a better trend globally.
Overseas, gold prices edged up 0.07% to $1,251.60 an ounce while silver slipped 0.26% to $17 an ounce in Singapore.
