Gold for delivery in April contracts dropped Rs 405, or 1.37 per cent, to Rs 29,110 per 10 gm in a business turnover of 799 lots at the Multi Commodity Exchange.
In a similar fashion, the metal for delivery in far-month June was trading down Rs 390, or 1.31 per cent, to Rs 29,390 in 22 lots.
Market analysts said the fall in gold futures is mostly in step with a weak trend overseas as Asian equities resumed their gain and chances of a US rate hike rose after a report on Friday showed a pick-up in inflation.
