New Delhi: Gold prices edged higher by Rs 50 to Rs 28,350 per 10 grams today, tracking a firm trend overseas amid scattered buying by local jewellers.
Silver also recovered by Rs 300 to Rs 39,600 per kg due to increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Apart from a firm global trend, traders said, mild buying by local jewellers at the domestic spot market mainly brought about the upmove.
Globally, gold rose 0.50 per cent to USD 1,156.70 an ounce in Singapore.
In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity were up by Rs 50 each to Rs 28,350 and Rs 28,200 per 10 grams, respectively.
