NEW DELHI: Falling for the second
straight day, gold prices declined by
Rs 185 to hit over three-month low

jewellers.
Silver also dropped by Rs 400 to Rs
35,650 per kg on reduced offtake by
industrial units and coin makers.

low, as investors weighed the

two-day meeting, mainly influenced
the prices of precious metals.

sets price trend on the domestic
front, fell by 30 cents to USD
1,154.51 an ounce and silver by 0.4
per cent to USD 15.58 an ounce.

jewellers and retailers dampened
the sentiment, they said.
