Snapping a four-day rising streak, gold prices today fell by Rs 120 to Rs 30,250 per 10 grams here due to selling by stockists at existing higher levels amid a weak global trend.
Silver followed suit and fell by Rs 250 to Rs 54,750 per kg owing to lack of buying support from industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said stockists selling at prevailing higher levels amid a weak global trend mainly led to the fall in gold and silver prices. Gold in New York, which normally sets the price trend on the domestic front, fell by USD 6.10 to USD 1,606.70 an ounce and silver by 0.31 per cent to USD 28.82 an ounce.
