While gold fell by Rs 75 to Rs 27,025 per 10 grams, silver lost Rs 615 at Rs 40,435 per kg on reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said besides reduced offtake by stockists and jewellers in view of off-marriage season, weak trend in global markets mainly led to the fall in gold and silver prices.
Gold in New York, which normally sets the price trend on the domestic front, fell by $15.90 to $1,274.50 an ounce and silver by 3.62 per cent to $19.29
