Gold prices move down Rs 115 after safe haven appeal hit

News, Business

New Delhi: Gold came under pressure from a rising dollar with a fall of Rs 115 to Rs 30,135 per 10 grams today, which was compounded by tepid demand from local jewellers.

The fall was in line with a weak trend overseas as the strength in the dollar dented demand for the precious metal as a safe haven.

Silver too lost sheen, losing Rs 450 to Rs 40,050 per kg, following reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
