Gold prices dipped below Rs 22,000 per 10 grams after 10 weeks in the national capital on Saturday on sustained selling by stockists on the back of a weak trend overseas.
Gold declined by Rs 230 to Rs 21,820 per 10 grams, a level last seen on April 19. Silver fell by Rs 350 to Rs 51,500 per kg.
Dealers said that trading sentiment remained bearish after gold fell in the global markets on easing sovereign debt crisis in Greece, curbing demand for the precious metals as an alternative investment.
Reduced offtake by retailers and jewellery manufacturers at existing higher levels further fuelled the downtrend, they added.
Gold fell by USD 20.20 to USD 1,482.60 an ounce and silver by 3.2 per cent to USD 33.70 an ounce.
On the domestic front, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity fell by Rs 230 each to Rs 21,820 and Rs 21,700 per 10 grams, respectively.
The metal had lost Rs 270 Friday.
Sovereign remained unchanged at Rs 18,650 per 10 grams in restricted activity.
Silver ready and weekly-based delivery dropped by Rs 350 each to Rs 51,500 per kg, respectively. Silver coins declined by Rs 500 to Rs 56,000 for buying and Rs 57,000 for selling of 100 pieces.
