Gold prices dropped Rs 100 to Rs 35,780 per 10 gram in the bullion market here on Wednesday due to lacklustre demand from jewellers even as the precious metal remained flat overseas, according to the All India Sarafa Association.
Silver, however, gained Rs 70 to Rs 42,120 a kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
The decline in demand from local jewellers at the domestic spot market led to the dip in gold prices though the yellow metal remained flat in overseas market, traders said. Globally, gold was trading almost flat at $ 1,430.70 an ounce in New York as investors awaited the outcome of US Federal Reserve’s meeting on Wednesday.
