Gold snapped its two-day losing trend, recovered by Rs 10 to Rs 30,800 per 10 grams. It had lost Rs 260 in last two trading sessions.

Silver also rebounded by Rs 150 to Rs 58,000 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units, after losing Rs 1015 yesterday.

Traders said emergence of buying at existing lower levels to meet the ongoing marriage season demand mainly led to recovery in gold prices.

They said increased offtake by industrial units helped silver to rebound from yesterday's loss.
