Gold made some decent recovery by rising Rs 50 to 30,700 per 10 grams at the bullion market in the national capital today, aided by increased buying by jewellers to meet wedding season demand coupled with a firm global trend.
Silver also moved up Rs 200 to Rs 43,200 per kg on higher offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Analysts attributed the jump in gold prices to pick-up in buying by jewellers at the domestic spot market for the the ongoing wedding season amid a firm global trend.
