Gold price in India today: While Indian citizens are celebrating Buddha Purnima on Monday, the  yellow metal in the country is moving in the opposite direction, with 24 karat gold in various grams trading on a positive note, whereas 22 karat gold in various grams remained muted during the same day. The silver metal prices also remained unchanged from the previous day. The global gold prices were little changed as investor interest in the yellow metal dropped as the US dollar steadied and there were signs of easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, reducing the safe-haven demand for gold.
