<h1>Gold and silver prices jump as festive demand surges, ending three-day slide amid weaker dollar, rate-cut hopes</h1> Gold prices in Delhi rose by Rs 3,500 to Rs 1,28,900 per 10 grams amid increased festive and wedding-season demand from local jewellers and retailers, ending a three-day decline. Gold of 99.5 per cent purity also increased to Rs 1,28,300 per 10 grams, inclusive of taxes. Silver prices surged by Rs 5,800 to Rs 1,60,800 per kilogram, also tax-inclusive. Traders attribute the rise to stronger local physical demand and a weaker US dollar, with global sentiment influenced by expectations of potential US Federal Reserve rate cuts.
