Gold futures prices fell 0.55 per cent to Rs 29,455 per 10 gram today as speculators trimmed positions, tracking a weak global trend.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold prices for delivery in December were trading down by Rs 164 or 0.55 per cent at Rs 29,455 per 10 grams in a business turnover of 3,055 lots.
Similarly, the metal prices for delivery in far-month February 2014 eased by Rs 119 or 0.4 per cent to Rs 29,311 per ten grams in 90 lots.
Market analysts said that the fall in gold futures was mostly attributed to a weak trend overseas on expectations that US lawmakers will find a compromise over the debt limit and government shutdown, potentially paving the way for a reduction in stimulus as the economy improves.
Meanwhile, gold prices fell 0.17 per cent to $1,316.70 an ounce in London today.
