Silver also plunged Rs 750 to Rs 77,200 per kilogramme.

In the international market, both gold and silver were quoting lower at USD 1,966 per ounce and USD 24.80 per ounce, respectively.

Gold prices retreated from their recent highs on the back of a recovery in the US dollar and treasury yields.

The dollar index reclaimed the 100 mark and rose about 0.60 per cent against its rivals on Thursday following stronger-than-expected US jobless claims data, Saumil Gandhi, senior analyst – Commodities at HDFC Securities, said.

The data showed weekly claims fell to a two-month low, an indication of the labour markets resilience, which would reinforce the idea that there could be another rise in interest rates this year, Gandhi added.
