Gold Silver Reports – Gold Prices Up by Rs190 on Firm Global Cues, Jewellers’ Buying — Gold prices maintained its upward trend for the fourth day on Tuesday, climbing Rs190 to Rs31,850 per 10 grams, largely in line with a firm trend overseas amid sustained buying by local jewellers. However, silver prices slipped by Rs150 to Rs39,550 per kg due to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said sentiment in gold remained strong following positive trend overseas on the back of a weaker dollar, while investors awaited US Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell’s first congressional testimony for clues on the future pace of monetary tightening. Moreover, increased buying by local jewellers at domestic spot market, supported the uptrend in gold.
Globally, gold rate edged up by 0.03% to $1,333.30 an ounce in Singapore.
