Gold regained it sheen by surging Rs 250 to 30,400 per 10 gram at the bullion market today largely on a firm global trend amid increased buying by jewellers at domestic spot market, triggered by wedding season demand.

Silver also recovered on mild demand from industrial units.

Analysts attributed the rebound in gold prices to a firm trend overseas and increased buying by jewellers at domestic spot market to meet the wedding season demand.

Globally, gold rose 0.36 per cent to USD 1,259.40 an ounce in Singapore.
