Gold Falls Further On Easing Crude - Dec 06, 2008

Gold prices dropped by Rs 65 at Rs 12,575 per 10 gram in the national capital on December 05 on back of buying support on easing concerns of inflation. Silver followed the same trend and fell by Rs 100 at 16,500 per kg.Falling demand on ending marriage season on the domestic front helped in pulling down the bullion prices.
