Gold Firms Up Going On Higher Global Cues - June 18, 2009

The gold prices strengthened on the bullion market on June 17 on the back of persistent local demand amidst higher global advices. While on the other hand, the silver dipped further in the absence of demand from industrial users. The Gold futures in New York firmed up for the first session due to the weakening of dollar following U.S. economic data, increasing gold''s investment appeal.
