New Delhi, Feb 24 (PTI): Snapping a three-day losing streak, gold prices rebounded by Rs 190 to close at Rs 29,100 per 10 grams at the bullion market on Wednesday amid firm global cues and wedding season demand from domestic jewellers.

However, silver eased by Rs 150 to Rs 37,100 per kg lacking necessary buying from industrial units.

Bullion traders said a firming trend overseas where gold held an advance as stocks and crude oil retreated, boosting demand for haven assets, and investors weighed economic data from the US that could provide clues on whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates this year, mainly buoyed sentiment here.

Globally, gold traded tad higher at $1,229.11 an ounce from $1,226.85 on Tuesday in Singapore.

In addition, fresh buying from jewellers as well as retailers in view of wedding season, supported the upside in gold, they said.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity bounced back by Rs 190 each to Rs 29,100 and Rs 28,950 per 10 grams respectively. The precious metal had lost Rs 380 in the previous three sessions.

Sovereign, however, remained steady at Rs 22,900 per piece of 8 grams in limited deals.

On the other hand, silver ready declined by Rs 150 to Rs 37,100 per kg and weekly-based delivery shed Rs 95 at Rs 37,065 per kg.

Silver coins were unaltered at Rs 54,000 for buying and Rs 55,000 for selling of 100 pieces.
