Resultantly, the price of yellow metal in the country went up and the price of 10 grams yellow metal was recorded at Rs85,600 after gaining Rs300. The price of 10 grams gold was recorded at Rs85,300 on Wednesday last. Meanwhile, India, China ramp up gold purchases as the market starts recovering from pandemic pain.
