New Delhi-India (Oct 16)  Amid a weak trend overseas and profit-booking by speculators, gold prices fell 0.43 per cent to Rs. 27,360 per 10 grams at the futures trade today.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in far-month February next year eased Rs. 117 or 0.43 per cent to Rs. 27,360 per 10 grams in a business turnover of 17 lots.

On similar lines, the metal for delivery in December shed Rs. 109 or 0.40 per cent to Rs. 27,148 per 10 grams in 392 lots.
