Amid a weak trend overseas and profit-booking by speculators, gold prices fell 0.26 per cent to Rs 27,860 per 10 grams at the futures trade today.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in October eased by Rs 74 or 0.26 per cent to Rs 27,860 per 10 grams in a business turnover of 346 lots.
Likewise, the metal for delivery in far-month December shed Rs 78 or 0.24 per cent to Rs 28,059 per 10 grams in 11 lots.
Analysts said besides profit-booking by speculators, a subdued trend in the overseas market as investors weighed the health of the global economy against tensions between Ukraine and Russia, put pressure on gold prices at the futures trade here.
Globally, gold traded 0.4 per cent lower at $1,280.41 an ounce in Singapore today.
