Gold prices fell by Rs. 50 to Rs. 27,250 per ten gram at the bullion market in the national capital on Thursday owing to slackened demand from jewellers even as gold rose in global market.
However, silver ready held steady at Rs. 36,700 per kg.
Traders said fall in demand from jewellers and retailers at prevailing levels mainly led to the fall in gold prices but a better trend overseas after the US Fed kept its momentary policy unchanged, limited the losses.
