Snapping its two-day losing streak, gold prices on Wednesday rebounded by Rs. 120 to Rs. 28,420 per ten grams at the bullion market here on revival of buying by jewellers to meet ongoing wedding season demand even as metal retreated overseas.

Silver also recovered by Rs. 120 to Rs. 39,520 per kg on increased off-take by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said emergence of buying by jewellers and retailers to meet wedding season demand helped the precious metals to recover but a weak trend in global market before the US Federal Reserve ends a two-day meeting, capped the gains.
