 "Gold down 0.1% on weak global cues")
Gold prices fell marginally by 0.16% to Rs 28,535 per ten grams in futures trade today as speculators trimmed their positions, taking weak cues from the global markets.
However, token buying by retailers in the spot markets on the auspicious occasion of "Akshaya Tritiya" day limited the losses.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in June month contracts shed Rs 45, or 0.16%, to Rs 28,535 per ten grams in business turnover of 1,628 lots.
At the spot markets, gold traded lower at Rs 29,950 per ten grams in opening trade at Chennai.
Analysts said the fall in yellow metal prices at futures trade was mostly in tandem with a weak trend overseas but token buying by retailers at spot markets on account of Akshaya Tritiya, considered to be an auspicious day for buying gold and silver, restricted the fall.
Meanwhile, gold declined by 0.20% to USD 1,282.25 an ounce in Singapore.
