NEW DELHI : Gold prices Monday rose by ₹340 to ₹34,450 per 10 grams at the bullion market here due to increased demand from local jewellers, according to All India Sarafa Association.
Silver, however, declined by ₹130 to ₹41,530 per kg due to subdued offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said, increased demand from jewellers pushed the prices of yellow metal. However, weak global cues capped the gain in the prices of precious metal, they added.
Globally, gold traded lower at 1,312.20 an ounce and silver stood at $15.83 an ounce in New York.
