Mumbai:- Gold prices slipped from its recent gains at the domestic bullion market today on stockist and investors’ selling as well as subdued local buying amid bearish global cues.

However, Silver (.999 fineness) climbed by Rs 195 per kg to conclude at Rs 34,435 against Rs 34,240 yesterday.
Globally, gold edged lower as the dollar and equity markets rose after data showing China’s weakest economic growth in years fanned stimulus hopes and spurred investors towards riskier assets.
