Gold futures on the MCX also recorded a decline in the previous trading session as weak spot demand prompted market participants to reduce their positions.

Market experts attributed the decline in futures prices to subdued demand in the physical market. Traders also pointed to weakness in international bullion markets as a major factor behind the sharper fall in domestic gold prices.
