Gold remains up on global cues, jewellers buying

New Delhi: Gold maintained its upward trend for the second day on Saturday, gaining another Rs 25 at Rs 28,575 per 10 grams on positive global cues and sustained buying by local jewellers at the bullion market here. Silver followed suit and gained another Rs 200 to Rs 38,600 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said that besides a firm trend overseas, sustained buying by local jewellers mainly kept gold prices higher. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity inched up further by Rs 25 each to Rs 28,575 and Rs 28,425 per 10 grams respectively. It had gained Rs 150 on Friday. (PTI)
