 "Gold futures down by 0.8% amid weak global cues")
Amid a weakening global trend, gold futures traded lower by Rs 225 at Rs 28,374 per 10 grams today as speculators cut down their bets.
Besides, profit-booking by speculators at existing levels weighed on the precious metal prices.
Gold for delivery in April dropped Rs 225, or 0.79%, to Rs 28,374 per 10 grams, in a business turnover of 363 lots at the Multi Commodity Exchange.
Market analysts said the fall in gold futures was mostly in tune with a weak trend overseas where it sank to one month lows as the dollar's rally hurts the allure of the metal that has been the best-performing commodity of 2016.
Meanwhile, gold prices fell 0.23% to $1,213.40 an ounce in Singapore today.
