Gold prices on May 14 rose by ₹377 to ₹33,395 per 10 gram in the national capital due to rise in domestic demand, according to the All India Sarafa Association.
Tracking gold, silver too gained ₹300 to ₹38,300 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said apart from uptick in local demand, further escalation of trade war between the US and China boosted gold’s safe-haven appeal, thereby leading to upward movement in prices of yellow metal.
In a retaliatory move, China on May 13 said it would raise tariffs on US goods worth nearly $60 billion.
