New Delhi: Gold rallied by Rs 40 to Rs 33,200 per 10 gram at the bullion market on Monday, reversing a two-day losing trend on fresh buying by local jewellers to meet wedding season demand.

Silver, however, held steady at Rs 40,100 per kg on scattered demand from coin makers.

Traders said emergence of buying by local jewellers to meet the ongoing wedding season demand at domestic spot market and a firm trend overseas, mainly led to the recovery in gold prices.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purities bounced back by Rs 40 each to Rs 33,200 and Rs 33,050 per 10 gram, respectively.
