"Spot gold prices (24 carats) in the Delhi markets are trading at ₹62,350 per 10 grams, down by ₹750 taking bearish cues from overseas markets," Saumil Gandhi, senior analyst of commodities at HDFC Securities, said.

In the international markets, spot gold at Comex was trading at $1,995 per ounce, down by $26 from the previous close.

Comex spot gold fell below $2,000 per ounce for the first time since December after hotter-than-anticipated U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, which dashed optimism that the Federal Reserve might soon abandon its monetary policy easing, Gandhi added.

Also, silver was trading lower at $21.97 per ounce, while it had closed at $22.82 per ounce.
