Market analysts said the fall in gold futures was mostly due to a weak overseas market where it fell to the lowest since January as the outlook for higher US interest rates and a stronger dollar cut demand for precious metals as hedges against inflation.

Meanwhile, gold traded 0.19% lower at $1,206.40 an ounce in Singapore.
