New Delhi: Gold prices fell 0.14 per cent to Rs 28,259 per 10 grams in futures trade on August 20 as participants reduced positions on weak trend overseas amidst subdued demand at domestic spot markets. At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in December eased by Rs 40, or 0.14 per cent, to Rs 28,259 per 10 grams in a business turnover of 199 lots.
Likewise, the metal for delivery in October shed Rs 33, or 0.12 per cent, to Rs 28,219 per 10 grams in 1,368 lots.
