Gold prices, which had been plummeting since last week, fell by another Rs 364, or 1.41 percent, to trade at a 19-month low ( lowest level since Sept 2011) of Rs 25,270 per 10 grams for delivery in June at the Multi Commodity Exchange ( MCX).
Spot gold fell as low as USD1,321.35 an ounce and stood at USD 1,341.94, down USD10.81 per ounce while silver shed nearly 2 percent to USD 22.11 per ounce.
GOLD- Rs 25,810, SILVER- Rs 46,150
GOLD- Rs 27,600 / SILVER- Rs 48,000
