Tepid demand from jewellers pulled down gold prices by Rs 50 to Rs 32,670 per 10 gram at the bullion market here on Tuesday, according to the All India Sarafa Association. Silver too shed a marginal Rs 10 to trade at Rs 38,120 a kg.
According to traders, fall in demand from local jewellers and retailers at the domestic spot market led to the dip in gold prices despite Akshaya Tritiya, a day considered auspicious to buy gold. Globally, spot gold was trading marginally higher at $ 1,282.20 an ounce, while silver was down at $ 14.92 an ounce in New York.
