Gold futures prices declined by Rs 39 to Rs 20,974 per 10 grams today as speculators booked profits at existing high levels amid a weakening global trend.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in April declined by Rs 39 or 0.19 per cent to Rs 20,974 per 10 grams with a business turnover of four lots. Similarly, the metal for delivery in June lost Rs 39 or 0.18 per cent to Rs 21,245 per 10 grams in just two lots.
Traders said profit-booking by speculators amid a weakening global trend mainly led to a decline in gold futures prices.
