Gold prices dipped below the Rs 32,000-mark, tumbling Rs 405 to Rs 31,965 per ten gram at the bullion market today due to a weak trend overseas and slump in demand from local jewellers. Silver followed suit and cracked Rs 41,000-mark by falling Rs 370 to Rs 40,830 per kg.
According to traders, investors sentiment dampened largely due to a weak trend overseas. Besides, an appreciating rupee against the US dollar made imports cheaper. Fall in demand from local jewellers at the domestic spot market also weighed on the prices, they added.
Globally, gold fell 0.38 per cent to $1,296.20 an ounce and silver by 0.36 per cent to $16.51 an ounce in Singapore.
In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity slumped by Rs 405 each to Rs 31,965 and Rs 31,815 per ten gram respectively. It had lost Rs 105 on Saturday. Sovereign, however, remained unaltered at Rs 24,800 per piece of eight gram.
