According to the news, according to the All India Sarafa Association, the price of gold and silver fell due to weak demand from jewelers and weak uptake from industrial units and coin makers. Traders said that the prices of precious metals fell due to weak demand from jewelers in the local market, while strong global trends limited the losses to some extent.
