India Gold prices fall Rs 100 on profit-booking, subdued global trend

GOLD prices Monday (15) declined by Rs 100 to Rs 35,470 per 10 gram at the bullion market in New Delhi due to profit-booking and subdued trend overseas.

Tracking gold, silver also fell by Rs 25 to Rs 39,175 per kilogram on reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.


In the international market, spot gold dropped due to profit-booking after the release of Chinese economic data.

Hareesh V, commodity research head at Geojit Financial Services said: "The overall growth picture of China is still looks bleak with the second quarter GDP (gross domestic product) growth plunging to a 27-year low is likely to provide the lower level support to the commodity. Enduring geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and US-China trade tensions would be the other positive drivers of gold.”
