Gold Silver Reports — Gold, Silver Hold Gains on Jewellers Buying — Continuing its rising streak for the third straight day, gold advanced by another Rs30 to Rs29,880 per 10 grammes on Saturday on sustained buying by jewellers to meet wedding season demand even as metal weakened overseas.
Silver also edged higher by Rs50 to Rs43,450 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Traders said persistent buying by local jewellers to meet ongoing wedding season demand mainly kept the precious metal higher, but a weak trend overseas capped the losses.
