Gold prices gained Rs 35 to Rs 33,095 per 10 gram

New Delhi: Gold prices gained Rs 35 to Rs 33,095 per 10 gram Thursday, breaking its two-day fall, on account of increased domestic demand, shrugging off a weak global trend, according to the All India Sarafa Association.

Silver, however, dropped Rs 270 to Rs 38,850 per kg amid lower demand from industrial units and coin makers.

Bullion traders attributed the bounce back in gold prices to rise in domestic demand but a weak trend in the international market restricted the gains.
