Silver also rose by Rs 600 to Rs 47,900 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Traders said brisk buying by stockists driven by strong global trend, where gold advanced following tensions in Ukraine, mainly boosted the trading sentiment here. Gold in Singapore, which normally sets price trend on the domestic front, rose by 1.7% to $1,348.58 an ounce, the highest since October 30 and silver by 1.7% to $21.59 an ounce, led to an upsurge in gold and silver prices here.
