Gold prices were up by Rs 30 to a record Rs 22,090 per ten grams, while silver surged by Rs 1,400 to an all-time high of Rs 70,000 per kg today on sustained buying by stockists amid a rally overseas.
Trading sentiment remained bullish at home even as gold in the international markets advanced to a peak of $1,511.47 an ounce as a weaker dollar and debt concerns boosted the metal’s appeal as an alternative investment.
Silver also rose to its 31-year high of $46.86 an ounce, the highest price since 1980.
Besides, buying by retail customers and industrial units further fuelled the uptrend.
At the domestic front, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity rose Rs 30 each to Rs 22,090 and Rs 21,970 per ten grams, respectively. Sovereign, however, held steady at Rs 18,000 per piece of eight grams in restricted buying.
Silver ready continued its winning streak for the sixth straight day and surged by Rs 1,400 to Rs 70,000 per kg and weekly-based delivery by Rs 510 to Rs 68,000 per kg. Silver coins also climbed by Rs 1,000 to a new record of Rs 75,000 for buying and Rs 76,000 for selling of 100 pieces.
