Gold prices rose by Rs 180 to Rs 32,850 per 10 gram at the bullion market here on Wednesday due to fresh buying from jewellers amid firm trend overseas, according to the All India Sarafa Association.
Tracking gold, silver too gained by Rs 100 to Rs 38,220 a kg following increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Traders said sentiment turned bullish on the back of pick-up in buying support from local jewellers amid positive overseas trend as rising US-China trade tension boosted gold’s safe-haven appeal.
