Gold drops below Rs 27K level on global cues

PNS

Gold prices on Wednesday  slipped by Rs180 to trade at  Rs26,870 per 10 grams at the bullion market in the national capital on low demand from jewellers amid a weak global trend. Silver, too, declined by  Rs 60 at  Rs 36,800 per kg. Bullion traders attributed the fall in prices of the yellow metal to a weak global trend, where gold ruled below $1,200 an ounce, and subdued demand from jewellers and retailers. Gold in Singapore, which normally sets price trend on the domestic front, traded a shade lower at $ 1,191.47 an ounce from $ 1,192.78.
