Gold, silver rebound from multi-year low on buying, global rally
New Delhi-India (Nov 15) Gold and silver prices staged a strong rebound from their multi-year lows on the local bullion hub today as stockists and speculators went on a buying spree ignited by a global commodity rally overnight.
The yellow metal reclaimed the key Rs 26,000 per 10gm mark by vaulting a whopping Rs 715, its second biggest one-day gain this year.
Silver spurted by a massive Rs 1,600 to reclaim the Rs 36,000 per kilo mark owing to hectic speculative buyout.
Jewellery traders and stockists, who were on the sidelines expecting further price correction, got into the buying mode, triggering a rally, a bullion trader said.
Further, fall in rupee against the dollar and robust buying by retail customers for the coming marriage season amid investment off-take also supported the uptrend in the precious metals, he added.
