Gold Silver Reports – Gold prices held steady at Rs30,280 per 10 grams on Thursday, supported by a firm trend overseas, along with fresh buying by local jewellers. However, silver plunged Rs100 to Rs39,900 per kg, hurt by lower offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said a firm trend prevailed overseas after the US Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged and investors waited for an announcement on the next chair of the central bank. Globally, gold rates firmed up 0.17% to $1,276.50 an ounce in Singapore. Buying by local jewellers to meet wedding season demand at the domestic market supported the upmove.
