Gold Slips on Muted Spot Demand, Weak Global Trend

NEW DELHI: Muted demand by jewellers at the spot market and uninspiring global trend dragged gold prices lower in Thursday’s futures trade.

Dollar’s rise against its peers weighed on gold prices in global markets. The dollar index was trading near a two-week peak and extended gains for a third straight session against its peers, making dollar-denominated metals more expensive for holders of other currencies, Reuters reported.

Silver also traded in a narrow range amid muted demand by industrial units and coin makers.
