Gold prices edged marginally up by Rs 15 at Rs 35,795 per 10 gram but silver plunged by Rs 590 to Rs 41,530 a kg in the national capital on Thursday as caution prevailed in view of weak global cues and lacklustre domestic buying, according to the All India Sarafa Association.
In the global market, gold was trading lower at $ 1,407 an ounce and silver price was down at $ 16.12 an ounce in New York. The American currency rose 0.40 per cent to 98.91 against a basket of major currencies, further putting pressure on gold rates.
The yellow metal witnessed a selling pressure after the US Federal Reserve failed to give further clarity over future rate cuts, HDFC Securities Senior Analyst (Commodities) Tapan Patel said.
