Domestic spot gold opened at Rs 48,068 per 10 grams on Wednesday, and silver at Rs 62,154 per kilogram - both rates excluding GST, according to Mumbai-based industry body India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA).
Gold in international markets:Gold prices on Wednesday retreated from a more than one-month peak hit in the last session, as a stronger U.S. dollar and increased appetite for riskier assets depressed sentiment. Spot gold fell 0.3 per cent to $1,800.02 per ounce, while US gold futures dropped 0.6 per cent to $1,800.
Higher rates increase bond yields, making non-yielding bullion less attractive. Gold prices are on track for their biggest yearly decline since 2015, having fallen nearly five per cent so far.
''COMEX gold trades marginally lower but in a range near $1805/oz after a 0.1 per cent gain yesterday. Gold jumped to one-month high yesterday but failed to hold on to the gains as US dollar and bond yields recovered.
There are no fresh triggers in the market and we are seeing choppiness across asset classes reflecting in gold as well. Gold may continue to hover in a range near $1800/oz amid lack of fresh cues however any stability in US dollar may pressurize gold prices,'' said Ravindra Rao, CMT, EPAT, VP-Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.
