Gold prices rose ₹120 to ₹34,650 per 10 grams at the bullion market on Wednesday following increased buying by local jewellers and retailers, according to All India Sarafa Association.
Silver followed suit and recovered by ₹70 to ₹41,475 per kg due to increased offtake from industrial users and coin makers.
However, global cues were weak, capping the gains in both the precious metals.
Traders attributed the rise in gold prices to pickup in buying by local jewellers at spot markets to meet ongoing wedding season demand.
Besides, weakness in the rupee which depreciated 42 paise to 71.49 against the dollar (intra-day) at the forex market, making imports costlier, too supported the upside in gold prices, they added.
