Gold prices slipped on Monday, weighed down by rising geopolitical tensions after the collapse of US-Iran talks, which lifted oil prices, stoked inflation concerns and dampened expectations of US Federal Reserve rate cuts.In the domestic futures market, gold contracts traded lower, reflecting cautious sentiment among investors tracking global cues and macroeconomic risks.Data from the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) showed that the June contract fell Rs 943, or 0.62 per cent, to Rs 1,51,709 per 10 grams. The August contract declined Rs 911, or 0.59 per cent, to Rs 1,54,285 per 10 grams.The weakness in bullion prices comes amid a rise in crude oil prices following heightened tensions in West Asia, which has raised concerns about persistent inflation and reduced the likelihood of near-term monetary easing by the US Federal Reserve.Here is how gold prices stand across major cities today:
