NEW DELHI: Bullion lost its shine in Tuesday's session, hit by low demand for precious metals by local jewellers despite a firm trend overseas.
However,
gold prices edged higher on Tuesday as the dollar slipped after the previous session's rally on hopes that the US Federal Reserve could pause its rate hike cycle sooner than expected,
Reuters reported.
Around 10:40 am, the MCX Gold was trading at Rs 31,955 per 10 grams, lower by Rs 73. MCX
Silver was trading at Rs 38,350 per kilo, lower by Rs 19 at that time.
Low demand from local jewellers dented gold in the futures market, while the silver prices saw a fall on slightly reduced orders from industrial units and coin makers.
