New Delhi: After Thursday’s strong rally, gold prices slipped by Rs150 to Rs28,950 per 10 grams, largely on its global weakness amid subdued demand from local jewellers.
Silver also dropped by Rs350 to Rs41,000 per kg on reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said apart from a weak trend overseas, fall in demand from jewellers and retailers at current levels mainly led to decline in gold prices.
Globally, gold fell by 0.01% to $1,225.70 an ounce and silver by 0.26% to $17.25 an ounce in Singapore.
In the national capital, gold of 99.9% and 99.5% purity fell by Rs150 each to Rs28,950 and Rs28,800 per 10 grams, respectively.
