New Delhi:
Gold prices fell by Rs 250 to Rs
30,750 per 10 grams in special 'Diwali Muhurat' trading at the
bullion market today despite some token buying by jewellers.
Silver followed suit and cracked below the Rs 41,000-mark
by falling Rs 200 to Rs 40,800 per kg on reduced offtake by
industrial units and coin makers.
The slide in gold prices was attributed to absence of
worthwhile activity as jewellers and retailers made token
purchases on the auspicious occasion of 'Diwali' and beginning
of Hindu Samvat year 2074.
