New Delhi: Gold prices dipped below the Rs 30,000 mark today, plunging Rs 350 to Rs 29,750 per 10 grams amid a weak trend in overseas market and fall in demand from local jewellers.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity tumbled by Rs 350 each to Rs 29,750 and Rs 29,600 per ten grams, respectively. It had gained Rs 375 in Saturday's trade.
Sovereign, however, remained unaltered at Rs 24,500 per piece of eight grams.
