Market analysts said the fall in gold futures was mostly attributed to trimming of positions by speculators, tracking a weak trend overseas as investors weighed prospects for higher US interest rates amid signs that a global slowdown may be hurting the world's largest economy.

Meanwhile, gold traded lower at $1,272.83 an ounce from $1,274.41 in Singapore in yesterday.
