New Delhi: Gold prices rose by Rs90 to Rs29,190 per 10 grams at the bullion market on Friday on positive global cues and increased buying by local jewellers.
Silver also strengthened by Rs50 to Rs39,050 per kg, backed by increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Sentiment improved largely on the back of a firm trend overseas, as weaker oil prices drove up the demand for the precious metal, with a softer dollar and weakness in US Treasury yields also lending support, traders said.
Globally, gold prices rose by 0.31% to $1,253.90 an ounce and silver by 1.03% to $16.69 an ounce in Singapore, a key price-setting Asian market.
