New Delhi: Gold prices fell by another Rs10 to Rs29,800 per 10 grams at the bullion market on Friday on weak trend overseas and easing demand from local jewellers, while silver saw a big slump, cracking below the Rs42,000 mark.

Silver lost Rs660 to Rs41,800 per kg due to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers. A weak trend overseas and a strong US dollar dimmed the appeal for gold as a safe haven, traders said. Globally, gold fell by 0.10% to $1,280.40 an ounce and silver by 0.33% to $17.94 an ounce in Singapore.
