New Delhi, Mar 12 (PTI) Gold prices on Tuesday fell by Rs 100 to Rs 33,150 per 10 gram in the national capital mainly due to subdued demand from local jewellers, according to the All India Sarafa Association.

Silver, however, gained Rs 50 to Rs 39,580 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said low demand from domestic jewellers and investors’ increased focus on equities pulled down the gold prices.

On Monday, the 30-share Sensex jumped 383 points to close at a near six-month high of 37,052. On Tuesday also, it was trading 503.36 points higher during the day.

Globally, gold prices were trading higher at USD 1,296.80 per ounce and silver was up at USD 15.49 an ounce in New York.
