Gold advances for 4th day, mirrors global trend
Tracking a firm global trend and continued buying by local jewellers, gold maintained its upward trend for the fourth day…
After Friday’s slide, gold regained its form to trade higher by Rs.80 at Rs.31,600 per 10 grams on Saturday, taking positive cues from the global market amid buying by jewellers in the domestic spot market.
However, silver fell by Rs.300 to Rs.46,500 per kg on reduced off-take by industrial units and coin makers.
Bullion traders said a firm trend overseas after the US Fed kept interest rates unchanged boosted demand for the precious metal. That apart, fresh purchases by jewellers at the domestic spot market led to the recovery in gold prices.
