New Delhi, Jun 29: Snapping the three-day falling streak, gold prices rebounded by Rs 1,300 to Rs 1.46 lakh per 10 grams in the national capital on Monday on value buying by traders. According to the All India Sarafa Association, gold of 99.9 per cent purity increased by Rs 1,300 to Rs 1,46,600 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes) from the previous close of Rs 1,45,300 per 10 grams on Thursday.
