Gold prices today tumbled by Rs 600 to hit almost three-week low of Rs 30,950 per 10 grams in the local market here today due to weak global advices. Fall in demand from local jewellers too kept pressure on the precious metal.
Silver cracked below the Rs 39,000-mark by falling Rs 450 to Rs 38,900 per kg on poor offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said sentiment was downbeat as the precious metal fell to four-week lows on a firmer dollar amid expectations of more US interest rate hikes, diminishing appeal of gold as a safe haven bet.
