Gold in the global platform recouped and pared some of its losses in the noon session, which saw prices at around $1,630 an ounce. Silver in the same platform shed more than 2 per cent, Geojit Financials said in a note.
"Prices were locked in a trading range with volatile trades since the last two days after the recent rally. So if prices hold the support of Rs 42,000, one could expect further recovery to Rs 42,600 then to Rs 42,740," the brokerage firm said.
