In futures trade at the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in October shed Rs 27 or 0.09 per cent to Rs 29,078 per 10 gram in a business turnover of 383 lots.
Similarly, metal for delivery in far-month December contracts eased by Rs 15 or 0.05 per cent to Rs 29,212 per 10 gram in seven lots.
Analysts attributed the fall in gold futures to profit- booking by traders at existing levels and weakness in the precious metals in global market as the US dollar strengthened against a basket of major currencies ahead of an annual meeting of central bankers this week.
