Bullion: Riding on a firm trend overseas and wedding season buying by jewellers, gold prices again went past the Rs 31,000-mark by rising Rs 400 per 10 grams at the bullion market during the week.
Silver also reclaimed the Rs 44,000-mark per kg on the back of increased offtake by coin makers and industrial units.
