Gold futures slipped by 0.19 per cent to Rs 21,835 per ten grams after hitting record high in yesterday’s trade, as speculators indulged in booking profits amid a weak trend in the global markets.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in June fell by Rs 42 or 0.19 per cent to Rs 21,793 per ten gram, with a business turnover of three lots.
It closed 1.2 per cent higher at Rs 21,835 per ten grams, after galloping to a record high of Rs 21,857 per ten grams in yesterday’s trade.
