Delhi Gold Prices Slip as Weak Demand and Dollar Weigh
Gold became a little cheaper in Delhi on Tuesday.
Its price fell by Rs 200 for every 10 grams.
Traders said fewer consumers and jewellers were buying it.
Buying can also slow during Pitru Paksha, when some people avoid purchasing gold and other auspicious items.
Silver’s price did not change.
In overseas markets, gold prices edged up slightly instead.
Analysts said the US dollar and crude oil prices may influence gold next.
One analyst expects gold to stay in a limited price range, with a slight chance of falling.
Gold of 99.9% purity in Delhi fell Rs 200 to Rs 1,49,600 per 10 grams on Tuesday.
Silver held steady at Rs 2.27 lakh per kilogram for a second consecutive session.
Traders cited subdued consumer and jeweller demand, including weaker buying during the Pitru Paksha period.
International spot gold edged higher to around USD 4,149.44 an ounce, while spot silver was nearly flat at USD 61.01.
An analyst expected gold to remain range-bound with a slight bearish bias, with the dollar and crude oil among near-term influences.
