Gold Falls by Rs. 100 On Weak Demand, Silver Recovers

New Delhi: Halting its four-day winning run, gold drifted lower by Rs. 100 to Rs. 29,350 per 10 gram at the bullion market here today due to weak retail demand.

However, silver recaptured the Rs. 41,000-mark by rising Rs. 250 to Rs. 41,200 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
