New Delhi: Gold prices on Friday fell by Rs 330 to Rs 34,500 per 10 gram at the bullion market here, tracking a weak trend overseas amid subdued demand from local jewellers, according to the All India Sarafa Association.

Silver also followed suit and weakened by Rs 300 to Rs 41,360 per kg, owing to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders attributed the decline in gold prices to a weak trend overseas and easing demand from jewellers at the domestic markets.
