As per Reuters, gold price rose on Thursday as investors remained cautious about the developments in the United States and China trade negotiations, while political uncertainties in the world’s biggest economy further boosted the metal’s safe-haven appeal.
But the price again fell by Rs 400 a tola on Friday to close the trading week at Rs 70,800 per tola.
Meanwhile, gold dealers in India offered a discount this week due to plentiful supplies and slack demand during the wedding season, with other regions in Asia expected improvement in buying ahead of the Christmas and Chinese New Year festivities, Reuters reported.
