Gold prices rebounded by Rs 260 to Rs 31,860 per 10 grams at the bullion market today on firm cues from global markets and fresh buying by local jewellers. Silver prices also went up by Rs 250 to Rs 40,750 per kg, backed by increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Marketmen said sentiment turned better largely in sync with a firm trend overseas, where gold prices inched up by a weaker dollar and lower Treasury yields, but expectations of a US rate rise next week kept a lid on gains. Besides, pick-up in buying by local jewellers at the domestic spot market supported the upmove, they said.
Globally, gold rose 0.15 per cent to $1,297.70 an ounce and silver by 0.52 per cent to $16.55 an ounce in Singapore.
In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity bounced back by Rs 260 each to Rs 31,860 and Rs 31,710 per 10 grams, respectively. It had lost Rs 50 in yesterday’s trade. Sovereign gold continued to trade flat at Rs 24,800 per piece of eight grams in scattered deals.
Following gold, silver ready shot up by Rs 250 to Rs 40,750 per kg while weekly-based delivery gained Rs 275 to Rs 39,850 per kg. On the other hand, silver coins remained unaltered at Rs 76,000 for buying and Rs 77,000 for selling of 100 pieces.
