Gold fell the most in a week, dropping below $1,300 an ounce, after the dollar extended gains and as imports slumped in India, the world’s biggest consumer.

Purchases of gold and silver by India were worth $800 million in September compared with $4.6 billion a year earlier, the Commerce Ministry said today.
