India, March 5 -- Prices of Gold plunged by Rs 7,600 per 10 grams, while Silver tumbled Rs 27,700 per kg in the national capital on Thursday as investors booked profits after recent gains.

According to the All India Sarafa Association, silver declined sharply by Rs 27,700, or 9.23%, to Rs 2,72,300 per kilogram (inclusive of all taxes).

Market analysts said silver prices remained highly volatile as safe-haven demand driven by escalating geopolitical tensions involving the US, Israel, and Iran was offset by heavy profit-booking at higher levels.
