New Delhi: Gold regained its sheen today by soaring Rs 315 to Rs 27,565 per 10 grams at the bullion market, tracking a firm global trend along with jewellers buying to meet wedding season demand.  

Silver also shot up by Rs 700 to Rs 38,500 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.  

Bullion traders attributed the sharp rise in gold prices to firm global trend where gold held the biggest climb in a week as a weaker dollar and declining equity markets boosted the metal's appeal as an alternative asset.  

Besides, increased buying by jewellers to meet wedding season demand supported the upside in the precious metals, they said.

Gold in Singapore, which normally sets price trend on the domestic front, traded at USD 1,194.04 an ounce from USD 1,193.94 on Tuesday. Silver also added 0.3 per cent to USD 16.59 an ounce.
