Gold fell by 0.14 per cent at the futures trade today amid a weak trend overseas along with profit-booking by speculators.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in October declined by Rs 32 or 0.14 per cent to Rs 22,787 per 10 grams with a business turnover of 51 lots.

Likewise, the metal for August delivery lost Rs 25 or 0.11 per cent to Rs 22,520 per 10 grams with a business volume of 1,137 lots. It had closed 0.11 per cent higher at Rs 22,545 per 10 grams in the previous session.

Analysts said a weak trend in the Asian region and profit-booking by speculators mainly led to the decline in gold prices at the futures trade.

Meanwhile, the yellow metal traded lower by $1.780 to $1,530.40 an ounce in the Asian region.
