CHENNAI: Gold prices in the city rose by Rs 800 on Wednesday (November 19) after a steep Rs 1,120 drop yesterday. With this, a sovereign (8 gram) now costs Rs 92,000, while the per-gram rate has increased by Rs 100 to Rs. 11,500.

Just a day earlier, on Tuesday (November 18), a sovereign of gold had slipped to Rs 91,200 (Rs 11,400 per gram) from Rs 92,320 (Rs 11,540 per gram).
