KATHMANDU, DECEMBER 12
The prices of precious metals slipped in the trading week between December 6 and 11, with investors’ sentiment mixed in the international markets.
According to the rate list of Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers’ Association (FeNEGoSiDA), gold was traded at Rs 92,700 per tola on Sunday.
Its price fell by Rs 100 a tola to Rs 92,600 per tola on Monday.
