New Delhi: Gold prices surged by Rs 300 to Rs 31,850 per ten gram at the bullion market on persistent buying by local jewellers amid a firm global trend.

Silver followed suit and shot up by Rs 360 to Rs 39,760 per kg due to increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said sentiment remained upbeat on positive global cues as the dollar index hovered near two-week lows, with markets awaiting key US inflation data and minutes from the Federal Reserve’s March meeting.

Globally, gold rose 0.40 per cent to USD 1,344.40 an ounce and silver by 0.15 per cent to USD 16.57 an ounce in Singapore.
