Gold prices fell by another Rs 100 to Rs 29,650 per 10 grams today, mostly on account of slack demand from local jewellers, ignoring a firm trend overseas.
However, silver recovered by Rs 200 to Rs 37,900 per kg on scattered enquiries from industrial units.
Market analysts said tepid demand from local jewellers and retailers at the domestic spot market weighed heavy on the yellow metal but a better trend overseas capped the losses.
