Gold prices eased Rs 50 to Rs 29,900 per 10 grams today owing to slack demand from local jewellers even as the metal strengthened overseas.
Silver followed suit and slipped below the Rs 43,000-mark by falling Rs 50 to Rs 42,950 per kg due to lower offtake.
Traders said sluggishness in demand from local jewellers and retailers mainly kept up pressure on precious metal prices, but a firm trend overseas as geopolitical tensions drove the flight to safety, capped the fall.
