Gold prices on Monday declined by ₹40 to ₹32,770 per 10 gram in the national capital due to lacklustre demand from local jewellers, according to the All India Sarafa Association.

Silver however, gained ₹90 to ₹37,500 per kg on fresh offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

According to traders, fall in demand from local jewellers and retailers at the domestic spot market led to the dip in gold prices but a positive trend overseas capped the fall.
