Gold prices fell by 0.44% to Rs 28,524 per 10 gm in futures trade today, as speculators engaged in trimming their positions, taking weak cues from overseas markets.
Also, a weakening trend on the spot markets following slackened demand due to end of the marriage season had a negative impact on gold futures here.
At the MCX, the June delivery declined by Rs 127, or 0.44%, to Rs 28,524 per 10 gm in a business turnover of 1,392 lots.
The August delivery moved down by Rs 122, or 0.43%, to Rs 28,933 per 10 gm in 96 lots.
