Gold prices edged up by Rs 30 to Rs 32,500 per 10 gram at the bullion market here Wednesday due to a firm trend overseas. Similarly, silver gained Rs 100 to Rs 39,350 per kg on increased demand from industrial units and coin makers. Bullion traders said positive global cues and marginal demand from local jewellers led to the rise in gold prices. On Tuesday, gold shot up by Rs 200 per 10 gram.
