Gold price fell by 1.54 per cent in futures trade on Monday in line with weak overseas trends.
Gold prices, which had been
plummeting since last week, fell by another Rs 399, or 1.54 per cent, to trade at a Rs 25,556 per 10 grams for delivery in August at the Multi Commodity Exchange. The June contract of gold dropped by Rs 380, or 1.47 per cent, to Rs 25,455 per 10 gm in 2,432 lots.
Analysts said sustained weakness in the overseas markets, where gold dipped to one-month low, put
pressure on the precious metal prices at futures trade.
Globally, gold plunged 1.5 per cent to $1,338.85 an ounce, its lowest price since April 18.
Analysts said a decline in ETF holdings and improvement in the US economy also hit the yellow metal's appeal.
