Gold futures edged lower on MCX as speculators trimmed their positions to book profits even as the metal strengthened overseas. Meanwhile, market players looked ahead to this week's annual meeting of top central bankers and economists in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where the heads of the US and European central banks will be making keynote speeches.
Crude oil futures traded marginally lower on MCX as speculators trimmed their positions, driven by rising US output although a 13 percent fall in US crude inventories since March indicated a gradually tightening market.
