However, silver remained steady at Rs 80,200 per kilogram.

Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst of Commodities at HDFC Securities, commented on the situation, stating that “Gold prices extended gains on Monday, trading at a record high of Rs 64,300/10 gram, up by Rs 450 following a bullish trend in the overseas markets.”
