New Delhi December 7:
Gold prices today plunged by Rs 215 to close at Rs 12,360 per 10 gram in the bullion market here on poor demand amid weak signals from global markets. Silver fell by Rs 150 to Rs 16,350 per kg.
Marketmen said reports that the precious metal tumbled in overseas market last evening pulled down its prices here. Poor demand on ending of marriage season also impacted the sentiments, they added.
