New Delhi: Reversing its two-day falling streak, gold rebounded by Rs 130 to Rs 29,160 per 10 grams today, triggered by a firm trend overseas amid fresh buying by jewellers at the domestic spot market.
Silver followed suit and recovered by Rs 350 to Rs 39,500 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
