Gold prices plunged to over ten months low by losing Rs 505 to Rs 29,470 per ten gram in the national capital today on frantic selling by stockists amid restricted buying, driven by a steep fall in overseas markets. The current fall in gold drove down the prices to a level last seen on May 30 last year as the metal tumbled in New York by $ 25.70 to $ 1559.30 an ounce on fears the US Federal Reserve might scale back stimulus. Tracking the general weakening trend, silver dropped by Rs 875 to Rs 52,275 per kg on restricted buying by industrial units and coin makers. MCX Gold suffered the second biggest fall this month after losing Rs 500 on April 3. On the domestic front, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity tumbled by Rs 505 each to Rs 29,470 and Rs 29,270 per ten grams, respectively. However, sovereign held steady at Rs 25,100 per piece of eight gram in restricted buying. In a similar fashion, MCX silver dropped by Rs 875 to Rs 52,275 per kg and weekly-based delivery by Rs 885 to Rs 51,375 per kg. Silver coins also nosedived by Rs 2,000 to Rs 79,000 for buying and Rs 80,000 for selling of 100 pieces.

At the London Metal Exchange (LME), lead gained 0.20 per cent to $ 2,094 per tonne. Copper prices slipped on Thursday as concerns about the outlook for demand and global oversupply weighed on sentiment although some optimism about China's economic revival helped cushion falls. Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange traded at $7,544.50 in official rings, down from Wednesday's close at $7,575. Prices hit a two-week high of $7,645.25 this week, rebounding from 8-month lows at the start of April, but traders said they are selling into rallies.
