Gold prices moved down by 0.43% to Rs 29,941 per 10 gram in futures trade today after participants offloaded partial positions, taking weak cues from the global market.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in December eased by Rs 129, or 0.43%, to Rs 29,941 per 10 gram in business turnover of 372 lots.

Likewise, the metal for delivery in far-month February last year shed Rs 103, or 0.35%, to Rs 29,329 per 10 gm in 34 lots.
