Gold prices fell Rs 75 to Rs 32,076 per 10 grams at the futures trade today as speculators trimmed positions, largely in tune with a weak trend overseas.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in February fell Rs 75 or 0.23 per cent to Rs 32,076 per 10 grams with a business turnover of 267 lots.

Similarly, the metal for delivery in December traded lower by Rs 69 or 0.22 per cent to Rs 31,677 per 10 grams with a business turnover of 3,273 lots.

Marketmen attributed the weak trend to a rising dollar as a higher dollar curbed the demand for alternative investments including gold.

Meanwhile, the yellow metal lost 0.2 per cent to $1,723.30 an ounce in Singapore.
