NEW DELHI, July 27: Gold prices moved down by 0.24 per cent to Rs 29,913 per 10 gram in futures trade today as speculators reduced exposure amid a weak global trend.

Similarly, the yellow metal for delivery in August contracts was trading lower by Rs 63, or 0.21 per cent to Rs 29,725 per ten grams in 715 lots.
