Gold prices drifted lower by 0.22 per cent to Rs 30,242 per 10 grams in futures trade today as participants trimmed positions tracking a weak trend overseas.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in August fell by Rs 68, or 0.22 per cent, to Rs 30,242 per ten gram in a business turnover of 686 lots.

Likewise, the yellow metal for delivery in October was trading lower by a similar margin to Rs 30,540 per ten grams in 123 lots.
