NEW DELHI: Gold price jumped Rs 335 to Rs 57,463 per 10 gram in the national capital on Wednesday amid a rally in yellow metal prices internationally, according to HDFC Securities.

The precious metal had settled at Rs 57,128 per 10 gram in the previous trade. Silver climbed Rs 516 to Rs 68,075 per kilogram.
