Gold futures fell for a second straight day on Tuesday on a strong rupee, but the fall wasn't enough to boost demand in the lean season, dealers said.

At 5:28 pm, the most-active gold for August delivery on the Multi Commodity Exchange ( MCX )) was down 0.25 percent to 22,302 rupees per 10 grams.

* "No, there wasn't any improvement in demand despite the correction. No one is in hurry to buy," said a Mumbai-based dealer with a state-run bank dealing in bullion.

* International gold rallied on Tuesday as the jewellery sector came looking for bargains, the dollar slipped and investors fretted about the Greek debt crisis.

* Jewellers across Asia rushed to replenish stocks after a recent drop in gold prices, but main consumer India showed little interest as farmers turned their attention to their crop during the monsoon season, dealers said on Tuesday.

* The Indian rupee, which has a bearing on the landed cost of dollar-quoted gold, closed at 44.73/74 per dollar, stronger than 44.86/87 at the previous close, comforted by dollar's weakness overseas, but volatile local shares and oil companies demand for US currency arrested rupee's gains.
