New Delhi: Snapping its four-day losing streak, gold prices recovered by Rs20 to Rs29,320 per 10 grams at the bullion market on Tuesday on scattered buying by local jewellers even as the metal weakened overseas. Silver, however, remained under selling pressure and dropped by Rs550 to Rs39,150 per kg.
Traders attributed the rise in gold prices to mild buying by local jewellers at domestic spot markets but a weak trend overseas capped the rise.
