Gold bounces from 11-month low, regains Rs.28,000 mark

Shaking off the four-day losing grip, gold prices rebounded from an 11-month low by surging Rs.475 to Rs.28,025 per 10 grams on Tuesday, leaning on positive global cues amid fresh buying by local jewellers.

Silver, too, retook the Rs.39,000-mark by climbing Rs.550 to Rs.39,150 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units.

A significant recovery in gold prices, according to traders, was mostly because of the firm trend in the global market and emergence of buying by jewellers at the domestic spot market.
