newsbyte
New Delhi, June 10: A four-day long rising spree was snapped as gold dropped by Rs 210 to Rs 12,495 per 10 gram on the bullion market here on Tuesday on stockists selling influenced by a weakening global trend.
Marketmen said selling pressure gathered momentum as the dollar strengthened and oil declined, diminishing the metal's appeal as a hedge against a drop in the US currency and inflation.
Marketmen said brisk selling by stockists triggered by falling trend in global market mainly attributed to a fall in gold prices. Sluggish demand in view of off marriage and festival season also dampened the market sentiment to some extent.
In London, gold fell $7.85 to $885.05 an ounce. Futures for July delivery also declined $10.30 to $887.80 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. -PTI
