Gold Silver Reports (GSR) – Physical Gold prices rose by Rs. 200 to Rs. 32,870 per 10 grams on Friday, reported news agency Press Trust of India (PTI) quoting the All India Sarafa Association.
Tracking gold, silver also gained by Rs. 150 to Rs. 37,550 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. The rise in gold prices came due to a pick-up in demand from local jewellers in the domestic market but a weak trend overseas capped the gains, Press Trust of India quoted traders as saying.
