Gold prices drifted lower by Rs 38 to Rs 32,320 per 10 gram at the futures trade today as participants lightened their positions, largely in tandem with a weak trend overseas.
Gold for delivery in far-month October was trading down by Rs 38 or 0.12 per cent at Rs 32,320 per 10 gram at the Multi Commodity Exchange with a business turnover of 34 lots.
The metal for delivery in August too fell Rs 30 or 0.09 per cent to Rs 31,851 per 10 gram in 458 lots.
Analysts said a weak trend in the overseas markets, where gold dropped as investors turned their focus to a US jobs report that will shed light on the health of the labour market in the world’s top economy, weighed on gold futures.
Globally, gold lost 0.4 per cent to $1,354.69 an ounce in Singapore.
