Gold prices slipped after a two- session surge at the domestic bullion market here today following subdued demand from stockists and investors, even as the metal strengthened overseas. However, silver maintained its rising trend and firmed up by Rs 45 per kg on increased offtake by industrial units. Standard gold (99.5 purity) declined by Rs 65 to close at Rs 29,695 per 10 grams from Tuesday's finish of Rs 29,760.
