NEW DELHI, Oct 20: Gold prices moved down by 0.12 per cent to Rs 27,402 per 10 grams in futures trade today after participants offloaded partial positions amid weak cues from the global market.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in February next year eased by Rs 34, or 0.12 per cent, to Rs 27,402 per 10 grams in a business turnover of five lots.

Likewise, the metal for delivery in December shed Rs 16, or 0.06 per cent, to Rs 27,240 per 10 grams in 389 lots.
