Gold prices moved up for the third straight session today by adding Rs 50 to Rs 29,300 per 10 grams, in sync with a firm trend overseas and continued buying by local jewellers.
Silver rose Rs 400 to Rs 39,500 per kg owing to demand from industrial units and coin makers.
A firm global trend and dollar's weakness added to the lure of the precious metal. Globally, gold rose 0.23 per cent to $ 1,252.17 an ounce and silver by 0.46 per cent to $16.88 an ounce in Singapore today.
Besides, continuous buying by local jewellers at the domestic spot market supported the uptrend.
