New Delhi: Gold prices rose by another Rs 125 to trade at over six-year high of Rs 32,625 per 10 gram on Thursday, buoyed by a pick-up in festive and wedding season demand by local jewellers amid firm global trends and weakening rupee. Silver, however, remained weak and fell by Rs 130 to Rs 39,600 per kg due to slackened demand from industrial units.
Bullion traders said sentiments also got a boost on firming trend in overseas where gold traded at over three-month high as the dollar eased and equities slumped. Besides, weakness in the local currency also added to investor sentiments.
Globally, gold was trading at $1,234.20 an ounce in Singapore Thursday. Besides, a pick-up in buying by local jewellers to meet seasonal demand at domestic spot markets and diversion of funds from falling equity markets also supported the uptrend, they said.
