Gold dipped by Rs 10 to Rs 30,500 at the bullion market today, largely in sync with a weak trend overseas amid falling demand from local jewellers. Silver also fell Rs 300 to Rs 40,700 per kg due to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said a subdued trend overseas, as a strong dollar eroded the demand for the precious metals, mainly influenced the sentiment here. In addition, fall in demand from local jewellers and retailers and shifting of funds towards the soaring equity also weighed on the prices, they said.
