Silver, gold fall on global cues

Silver and gold prices fell further at the bullion market here today on moderate selling by stockists and investors amidst continuing bearishness in the global markets.

Standard gold (99.5 purity) moved down by Rs 45 per 10 grams to close at Rs 21,585 as against Rs 21,630 yesterday. Pure gold (99.9 purity) also eased by a similar margin to conclude at Rs 21,690 from Rs 21,735 previously. In overseas trade, precious metals plunged over fading uncertainty of Eurozone debt problems pushing investors to place their bets elsewhere. In New York, gold for August delivery tumbled by USD 20.20, or 1.3 per cent, to USD 1,482.60 an ounce on the COMEX division of NYMEX yesterday. Silver for September delivery shed USD 1.13 or 3.2 per cent to USD 33.71 an ounce.
