Gold tumbled by Rs 210 to Rs 30,040 per 10 grams at spot markets of Delhi in yesterday's trade.
Analysts said weakness in the overseas markets, where gold dipped to over two-week low on signs of an improving US economy as assets in the largest exchange-traded product sank to a 12-week low, put pressure on the precious metal prices at futures trade.
Globally, gold lost 0.30% to $1,285.96 an ounce in Singapore.
