Domestic bullion trading witnessed a period of consolidation today after pure 24-karat gold recorded an aggressive surge of Rs 30,000 per 100 grams across the previous two sessions. The sharp upward momentum took a pause as physical retail quotes held completely steady across all standard purity denominations. Concurrently, silver rates mirrored this calm posture, preserving their earlier valuations across both retail and wholesale purchase quantities as market participants look ahead to pivotal macroeconomic updates scheduled overseas.
