Gold prices surged on Thursday after falling for three straight days, largely on fresh buying by jewellers at the domestic spot market, coupled with a better trend globally.

Globally, gold rose 0.11 per cent to USD 1,228 an ounce, while silver traded higher at USD 14.59 an ounce in Singapore as weakness in the dollar raised demand for the precious metal as a safe haven.

Sovereign gold, however, held steady at Rs 24,800 per piece of 8 gram on little doing.

In line with gold, silver ready recovered by Rs 200 to Rs 38,000 per kg, while weekly-based delivery by Rs 302 to Rs 36,888 per kg. Silver coins were unaltered at Rs 73,000 for buying and Rs 74,000 for selling of 100 pieces.
