Gold futures fell 0.25 per cent to Rs 30,932 per 10 grams today due to profit-booking by investors despite firm global cues.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in August was trading lower by Rs 78 or 0.25 per cent at Rs 30,932 per 10 grams in a business turnover of 725 lots. On similar lines, the metal for delivery in October declined by Rs 66 or 0.21 per cent at Rs 31,265 per 10 grams in 33 lots.
