Extending its gains, gold prices on Tuesday rose by Rs 100 to Rs 33,750 per 10 gram at the bullion market here, tracking a firm trend overseas, according to All India Sarafa Association.

Silver prices also followed suit and gained Rs 200 to Rs 41,000 a kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Traders said, gold hovering at $ 1,300 an ounce in the overseas market aided sentiments and led to an increase in the prices of the yellow metal. Besides, the escalation of Sino-US trade tensions ahead of its trade talks led to safe-haven buying, they added.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purities climbed Rs 100 each to Rs 33,750 and Rs 33,600 per 10 gram, respectively.
