Gold rates in India increased marginally and silver rates fell on Friday led by improved geopolitical sentiment that contributed to a decline in oil prices. The precious metal's upside was also driven by value buying after recent sharp corrections, with attractive entry levels triggering renewed demand alongside short covering. On the outlook, the precious metal may witness a mild near-term recovery, but breaking recent highs looks difficult, analysts told news agency PTI.
The gold rate in India on Friday is Rs 1,40,560 per 10 gms while the silver rate in India is Rs 2,19,760 per 1 kg, according the Bullions website.
In the international markets, spot gold rose 0.8% to $4,411.56 at 6:43 a.m. Singapore time. Silver advanced 1.4% to $69.01, as per Bloomberg.
