November 2, New Delhi: Gold prices have slipped today by Rs 150 to Rs 32,630 per 10 grams, thus breaking its three-day rising spell. According to PTI reports, the fall is on the back of weak global trend and muted demand from the local jewellers. Silver, on the other hand, has recovered by Rs 310 to Rs 39,500 per kg backed by increased offtake by coin makers. The sentiment turned weak, mainly due to a subdued trend overseas. In the global market, gold slipped by 0.03 per cent to USD 1,233.50 an ounce and silver by 0.03 per cent to USD 14.82 an ounce in Singapore. Diwali 2018: Why Is Dhanteras Celebrated?
