New Delhi, 26 April (H.S.): Domestic gold prices showed only a small fall on Sunday, while silver edged up modestly in Indian bullion markets. The mild correction in gold follows a more pronounced weekly decline, with the yellow metal coming off by up to ₹1,740 per 10 grams in seven days and silver tumbling by as much as ₹15,000 per kilogram over the same period.

In inter‑city trading, 24‑carat gold quoted a range of ₹1,54,040 to ₹1,54,910 per 10 grams, depending on the city, while 22‑carat gold traded between ₹1,41,200 and ₹1,41,350 per 10 grams.

Silver, on the other hand, rose slightly and is now trading around ₹2,60,000 per kilogram in the Delhi bullion market.

Overall, most state bullion hubs—including Karnataka, Telangana and Odisha—showed only a mild softness in gold, reinforced by the sharper weekly correction.

Over the past week, 24‑carat gold prices fell by up to ₹1,740 per 10 grams, while 22‑carat dropped by about ₹1,600 per 10 grams. Silver saw an even steeper weekly fall, slipping by roughly ₹15,000 per kilogram compared with last‑week levels.

Traders say the current move reflects a mix of weaker global sentiment and local profit‑booking, though demand ahead of festive and wedding months continues to provide a partial cushion to any deeper slide.
