Gold prices fell by Rs 30 to Rs 12,070 per 10 grams in the bullion market in New Delhi on Monday on reduced offtake amid weak global trend.

Buying activity in gold also reduced owing to off marriage and festival season and some investors shifted their funds from gold to rising equity market, they added.

Global trend which normally set prices band here in domestic markets, fell by 4.40 dollar to 880.45 dollar an ounce and silver by 10.5 cents to 16.71 dollar in overseas markets.
