Gold prices declined by Rs 120 to Rs 27,070 per 10 grams at the bullion market on Monday due to sluggish demand from jewellers amid a weakening trend overseas.
Silver followed suit and traded lower by Rs 135 to Rs 36,750 per kg on reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Traders said apart from low demand from jewellers and retailers, a weakening global trend mainly kept precious metals under pressure.
