Gold prices scaled new highs in the domestic bullion market amid buying by stockists even as the metal lost ground in the international market.
Silver , however, eased on reduced buying by traders amid lower speculative offtake.
Standard gold (99.5 purity) advanced by Rs 90 per 10 grams to close at Rs 28,950 from last Saturday's close of Rs 28,860, while Pure gold (99.9 purity) gained by Rs 95 per 10 grams to end at Rs 29,085 posting a new high for the metal.
However, silver ready (.999 fineness) moved down by Rs 60 per kg to settle at Rs 57,930 compared to Rs 57,990 last weekend.
In London, gold declined as dollar went up as the initial optimism about resolving of the debt issue faced by Greece and Italy faded.
Gold was bid down at $1,779.49 an ounce in early trade and silver fell to $34.33 an ounce.
