Silver also dropped on lack of demand from industrial users.
Standard gold (99.5 purity) fell by Rs 90 to finish at Rs 26,880 per 10 grams from Thursday's closing level of Rs 26,970.
Pure gold (99.9 purity) also shed by a similar margin to settle at Rs 27,030 per 10 grams compared to Rs 27,120.
Silver (.999 fineness) slipped by Rs 130 to settle at Rs 38,020 per kilo from overnight level of Rs 38,150.
