Gold prices fell 0.20% to Rs 25,829 per 10 gram in futures trade today as investors reduced positions in line with a weak trend in overseas markets amidst subdued demand in domestic spot markets.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in August eased by Rs 52, or 0.20% to Rs 25,829 per 10 gram in business turnover of 149 lots.
Likewise, the metal for delivery in June shed Rs 38, or 0.14% to Rs 26,825 per 10 gram in 33 lots.
