Market analysts said a weak trend in the overseas markets as strengthening dollar eroded demand for a safe haven, mainly put pressure on gold prices in futures trade here.

Meanwhile, spot gold prices had lost Rs 90 to Rs 26,360 per 10 grams in the national capital in yesterday's trade.

Globally, gold fell as much as 0.40 per cent to $1,157.94 an ounce in Singapore.
