Gold prices today fell by another Rs 25 to Rs 27,225 per ten grams at the bullion market in the national capital due to slackened demand at prevailing levels from jewellers and retailers amid a weak trend overseas.
Silver also declined by Rs 100 to Rs 36,600 per kg on reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said apart from subdued demand from jewellers and retailers at prevailing levels, a weak trend in global markets mainly kept gold prices lower.
