Mumbai: Gold prices slipped for the second straight session at the bullion market on Wednesday due to sustained selling by stockists and jewellery traders.

Meanwhile, silver strengthened for the third day owing to industrial buying support. Standard gold (99.5 purity) fell by 100 to end at 28,760 per 10 grams from Tuesday’s level of 28,860.

Pure gold (99.9 purity) also eased by a similar margin to close at 28,910 per 10 grams against 29,010, previously. However, silver (.999 fineness) rose by 35 per kg to finish at 42,500 as compared to 42,465 earlier.

Globally, gold edged higher as uncertainty about Brexit talks, French elections and US President Donald Trump’s economic policies boosted safe haven buying, offsetting a firmer dollar.
