Gold prices recovered from its six-month low by rising Rs 250 to Rs 29,250 per 10 grams at the bullion market today on positive global cues amid scattered buying by jewellers at the domestic spot market.
Silver also regained the Rs 41,000-mark by rising Rs 150 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said a firm global trend amid signs of political uncertainty ahead of an Italian referendum this weekend mainly led to a rise in the prices of precious metals here.
