New Delhi: Gold prices drifted below the Rs 30,000-mark by falling Rs 275 to Rs 29,725 per 10 grams at the bullion market today on weak global trend and fall in demand from local jewellers. Silver also dropped by a whopping Rs 1,350 to Rs 42,700 per kg on reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.Traders said that a weak trend overseas and strength in the dollar against a basket of currencies on rising hopes of US rate hike this month, reduced the appeal of the precious metals. Globally, gold fell 0.21 per cent to USD 1,231.40 an ounce in Singapore.Besides, a drop in demand from local jewellers and retailers at current levels too weighed on prices, they added.
