Gold prices slipped from nearly four-month high by losing Rs 475 to Rs 28,725 per ten grams in the national capital today on profit-selling by stockists at prevailing higher levels amid a weak global trend.

Silver also dropped by Rs 640 to Rs 41,620 per kg on lack of buying support from industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said profit-selling by stockists at prevailing higher levels amid a weak global trend mainly pulled down both gold and silver prices.
