Domestic spot gold closed at Rs 45,217 per 10 grams on Wednesday, and silver at Rs 67,919 per kilogram – both rates excluding GST, according to Mumbai-based industry body India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA). 

“Spot prices for 24 karat gold in Delhi fell by Rs 208 in line with decline in global gold prices and rupee appreciation,” said Tapan Patel, Senior Analyst (Commodities), HDFC Securities.

In the international market, gold was trading lower at $ 1,730 an ounce and silver was also marginally down at $26.68 an ounce. 

”Gold has recovered from June 2020 amid retreat in US dollar and bond yields from recent highs, optimism about US stimulus package, renewed virus concerns, mixed economic data, loose monetary policy stance of central banks and minor ETF inflows. Gold may continue to sway along with US dollar however a sustained rise is unlikely until there is sharp correction in bond yields or concrete measures on US stimulus,” said Ravindra Rao, VP, Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.

Meanwhile, the rupee appreciated 65 paise to settle at 72.72 against the US dollar tracking positive domestic equities and weaker American currency. Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, gained 1.69 per cent to $ 63.76 per barrel.
