The fall in gold prices at the international level is being attributed to less uncertainty due to the election results in the US and the strengthening of the dollar.
The price of silver is at Rs 91,310 per kg. The December futures price of silver on MCX is Rs 90,888 per kg. Globally, the price of silver is at $31.40 per ounce.
