Gold prices were ruling almost flat at ₹34,120 per 10 gram; silver prices fell by ₹70 to ₹38,500 per kg
Gold prices were ruling almost flat at ₹34,120 per 10 gram at the bullion market in New Delhi despite the precious metal gaining abroad following a fall in manufacturing activities in major economies.

Traders said gold prices declined by ₹20 due to easing in demand from local jewellers.

Globally, gold was trading higher at $1,391.33 an ounce, while silver was quoting higher at $15.19 an ounce in New York.

“Bullion prices traded higher on Tuesday with international spot gold prices recovered from key support levels of $1,380 [an ounce]. Gold prices gained safe haven bets after fall in manufacturing activities in major economies. The decline in China Manufacturing PMI followed by weak U.S. manufacturing PMI supported buying in gold prices with markets focusing on key fundamentals rather than tweets and comments on trade talks,” HDFC Securities Senior Analyst (Commodities) Tapan Patel said.
