New Delhi, May 4: Gold prices rose by Rs 55 to touch fresh all-time high of Rs 29,750 per 10 grams in the bullion market here today on sustained buying from stockists and investors even though the metal declined in global markets.
Silver, on the other hand, remained under selling pressure and declined by Rs 300 to Rs 55,900 per kg on lack of buying support.
