PTI, New Delhi :
Snapping its 3-day winning streak, gold prices fell Rs 40 to Rs 27,110 per 10 grams at the bullion market Thursday owing to slack demand from jewellers and retailers at prevailing levels.
Silver also plunged Rs 800 to Rs 37,000 per kg on poor offtake by industrial units and coin-makers.
Traders said fall in demand at the existing levels and a weak trend in the global market mainly kept up pressure.
