While gold moved down marginally by Rs 15 to Rs 29,650 per 10 grams, silver fell by Rs 400 to Rs 52,400 per kg.

Traders said lack on demand from retailers, jewellers and industrial units due to prevailing higher levels led to a fall in precious metals' prices.

Sovereign remained steady at Rs 24,300 per piece of eight grams in limited deals.

Silver ready fell by Rs 400 to Rs 52,400 per kg and weekly-based delivery by Rs 320 to Rs 52,750 per kg, respectively.
