New Delhi: Gold prices were dragged lower by a tad bit after hitting record highs amid the uncertainty which again surfaced due to rising coronavirus cases. In India, the cases are close to 5 lakh mark now.
On the MCX, gold hit a high of over Rs. 48,589 per 10 gm on Wednesday, but the gains could not sustain and for the second day today gold prices in the futures market quote at Rs. 48098, down 0.07% or Rs. 36.
This marginal decline is despite the IMF making the weakest forecast for Indian economy for FY21, with a contraction to the tune of 4.5%. Also the agency sees global growth to slip by 4.9% this year.
