New Delhi: Posting this year’s biggest single-day rise of Rs. 840, gold on Tuesday regained the Rs. 27,000 per ten gram level after a gap of over one month in the national capital, tracking rebounds in global markets.
In addition, pick-up in domestic demand from jewellers and retailers for the wedding season also buoyed sentiment.
