According to traders, profit-booking after the recent rally led to the fall in prices. Investors also remained cautious ahead of US non-farm payrolls data, which could provide new clues about the US Federal Reserve's interest rate stance.

Let us tell you that this is a very important economic data released by the US Labor Department, which shows the total number of new jobs added in the economy in the last month, excluding the agricultural sector as well as private household employees and employees of non-profit organizations (NGOs).

Globally, Comex gold futures for December delivery in New York traded marginally lower at $4,528.54 an ounce.
