Gold prices and silver rates in India rose on Wednesday amid persistent buying by stockists and a weaker rupee. Traders said increased offtake by local jewellers and stockists supported gold prices in the domestic market. Additionally, the weakened rupee made gold costlier for holders of other currencies, offsetting the impact of a decline in global prices, local marketmen told news agency PTI.
The gold rate in India on Wednesday is Rs 1,60,360 per 10 gms while the silver rate in India is Rs 2,61,310 per 1 kg, according the Bullions website.
