Gold prices declined by 0.25 per cent to Rs 22,693 per 10 grams in futures trade today amid profit-booking by speculators and a weak global trend.
A subdued trend at the domestic spot markets owing to slackened demand also dampened the sentiments.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in August declined by Rs 58 or 0.25 per cent to Rs 22,693 per 10 grams, with a business turnover of 1,096 lots.
Likewise, the metal for June delivery lost Rs 45 or 0.20 per cent to Rs 22,415 per 10 grams with a business volume of 113 lots. It had ended 0.15 per cent up at Rs 22,460 per 10 grams in the previous session.
Analysts said besides profit-booking by speculators, subdued spot markets demand at prevailing levels and a weakening global trend led to the fall in gold futures prices.
Meanwhile, gold traded lower by 0.2 per cent to $1,534.40 an ounce in New York in the previous session.
