Gold inches up on MCX, silver falls
Gold futures on Saturday increased marginally after slipping yesterday. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold for April delivery was trading at Rs 27,884 up Rs 33 at 3.00 pm IST.

Yesterday, the gold felt pressure after US economy showed the signs of recovery and dollar strengthened against other major currencies.
