Mumbai, February 04: Gold and silver prices bounced back smartly at the bullion market here today on fresh buying support from speculators and stockists triggered by sharp rebound in global markets.
The yellow metal settled on a two-week high in New York in its overnight trade with escalating Egypt crises and a weakening Euro pulling up the metal again to the safe haven destination.
