Gold prices declined by Rs 54 to Rs 21,925 per 10 grams in futures trade on Thursday on profit booking by speculators amid a weak global trend.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in June declined by Rs 54, or 0.25 per cent to Rs 21,925 per 10 grams, in a business turnover of 1,319 lots.
