Gold glitters on jewellers' buying, global cues
- Country:
- India
Gold rose by Rs 150 to trade at
Rs 32,650 per 10 gram at the bullion market Monday, helped by increased buying by local jewellers and a firm global trend.
Silver also rallied by Rs 410 to end at Rs 40,010 per kg on rise in offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Bullion traders said gold got a boost following a pick-up in buying by local jewellers as well as retailers and a firming trend overseas, as a weak dollar raised appeal of the precious metal as a safe haven.
The dollar weakened on expectations that the US Federal Reserve might apply brakes on its monetary tightening cycle in 2019.
Globally, gold rose 0.33 per cent to USD 1,289.50 an ounce and silver by 0.54 per cent to USD 15.85 an ounce in New York.
In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5
per cent purities rallied by Rs 150 each to Rs 32,650 and Rs
32,500 per 10 gram, respectively. The precious metal had lost
Rs 190 in the previous session.
Sovereign, however, remained flat at Rs 25,200 per
piece of eight gram.
Silver ready prices went up by Rs 410 to Rs 40,010 per kg and weekly-based delivery by Rs 136 to Rs 39,309 per kg.
Silver coins, however, remained unaltered at Rs 76,000
for buying and Rs 77,000 for selling of 100 pieces.
