NEW DELHI: Gold prices fell by 0.25 per cent to Rs 31,732 per 10 grams in futures trade today as speculators preferred to book profits at prevailing higher levels amid a weak trend overseas. At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in October fell by Rs 79, or 0.25 per cent, to Rs 31,732 per 10 grams, with a business turnover of 4,647 lots. Similarly, the metal for delivery in December moved down by Rs 75, or 0.23 per cent, to Rs 32,066 per 10 grams, with a business turnover of 679 lots. Globally, spot gold fell as much as 0.4 per cent to $ 1,753.75 an ounce in Singapore today. Marketmen said besides profit-booking by speculators at prevailing higher levels, a weak trend in the global markets after metal slipped from six-month high, mainly led to the fall in gold prices at futures trade.
