Amid a weak global trend, gold futures fell Rs 84 to Rs 31,140 per 10 gm today as participants trimmed their positions.
At the MCX, gold for delivery in October was trading lower by Rs 84 or 0.27 per cent at Rs 31,140 per 10 gms in a business turnover of 99 lots.
On similar lines, the metal for delivery in August shed Rs 78 or 0.25 per cent to Rs 30,834 per 10 gm in 612 lots.
Market analysts said the fall in gold futures was mostly in step with a weak trend overseas ahead of a US Federal Reserve meeting that may shed light on the timing of interest-rate increases, and as investors considered the outlook for stimulus in Japan.
Meanwhile, gold prices fell as much as 0.30 per cent to $1,315.93 an ounce in Singapore today as the dollar climbed.
