Gold spurts, silver regains 45-k mark

Gold prices spurted at the bullion market on Thursday on strong demand from stockists and traders coupled with marriage season off—take from consumers amid higher global cues. Silver also soared on low—level speculative buying and industrial demand, and regained the Rs.45,000 per kg mark.

At global front, gold strengthened to hit 10—day highs on hectic physical demand, boosted by weak dollar amid subdued investor confidence over recent sell—off and unabated outflows from exchange—traded funds (ETF).
In Europe, spot gold was bid higher at $1,448.10 an ounce in early trade, while silver was bid up at $23.43 an ounce.
