Gold price in India today: Both 24 karat and 22 karat gold in various grams were trading on a positive note today, despite global gold prices dropped to their lowest level in nearly two weeks as the dollar rose on the back of climbing US Treasury yields and as global political concerns eased. On the other hand, silver metal reversed previous gains and recorded a negative trend.
