Gold Prices Surge to a Record Rs 83,800 per 10 Grams – What’s Fueling the Rally?

Gold prices continued their upward trend for the second consecutive session, reaching a new all-time high of 83,800 per 10 grams in the national capital on Thursday, driven by strong global cues.

As per the All India Sarafa Association, gold with 99.9% purity inched up by 50 to hit a fresh peak of 83,800 per 10 grams, surpassing its previous close of 83,750 per 10 grams on Wednesday.

Similarly, gold with 99.5% purity gained 50, setting a record high of 83,400 per 10 grams, compared to 83,350 per 10 grams in the prior session.

Gold and Silver Prices Fall: Know the Latest Rates Here

Meanwhile, silver surged by 1,150 to 94,150 per kg, up from its previous closing price of 93,000 per kg.

In futures trading, gold contracts for February delivery surged by 575 (0.72%) to reach an all-time high of 80,855 per 10 grams. Similarly, April contracts rose by 541 (0.67%), setting a new record of 81,415 per 10 grams on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX).

“Gold traded positively in MCX as participants positioned themselves against potential import duty hikes, following the 6 per cent cut in the previous Budget. A significant divergence was observed between Comex and MCX, with domestic gold rallying 2.5 per cent in the past week, while Comex gained only 0.50 per cent,” Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst of Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities, said.

Silver futures for March delivery climbed by 1,050 or 1.14% to reach 92,916 per kg, up from the previous close of 91,866 per kg on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, in global markets, Comex gold futures surged by $23.65 per ounce or 0.84%, reaching a record high of $2,817.15 per ounce.

“Uncertainty around US President Donald Trump’s policy causes a new leg down in US Treasury yields, which helps gold prices continue their northward journey,” Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst of Commodities at HDFC Securities, said.

Further, investors are still anxious about the economic consequences of Trump’s trade tariffs and protectionist policies, which continue to support the safe-haven precious metal, Gandhi added.

What’s driving the rally?

Investors are dumping riskier assets as they prefer safe haven amid global economic uncertainties. Against this backdrop, gold outshining other riskier asset classes like equities, traders said.

Comex silver futures in the Asian market hours also traded 2.06 per cent higher at USD 32.04 per ounce.

On Wednesday, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) kept the interest rates unchanged at 4.25-4.5 per cent as it is not in a hurry to cut rates. The Fed called the risks to its dual mandate of employment and inflation as finely balanced.

According to commodities experts, the US Treasury yields had a muted response to Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s commentary, suggesting that interest rates could remain higher for longer due to ongoing inflationary threats and a robust labour market, which helped gold prices.

“Traders now focus on key economic indicators, including GDP figures, jobs data, and pending home sales, for further insights into the US economy, especially given Powell’s emphasis that future rate decisions will remain data-dependent,” Kaynat Chainwala, AVP-Commodity Research at Kotak Securities, said.

Bharat set to become third largest economy by 2027: LG Sinha

Pays rich tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on this death anniversary

*Says 25 crore Indians have risen above Below Poverty Line (BPL) category in past decade*

*Asserts rural poverty, which stood at 26% in 2012, has been reduced to less than 5% in 2024*

Yogesh

Jammu, Jan 30 (KNO): Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday expressed optimism that Bharat is on track to becoming the third-largest economy in the world by 2027.

Speaking at the Shanti Doot Sammelan organized by the Gandhi Global Family here, the Lieutenant Governor, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), highlighted the country’s economic growth and social progress over the past decade. “In the past 10 years, our country has witnessed unprecedented growth. By 2027, Bharat will be the third-largest economy in the world,” he said.

LG Sinha paid rich tributes to father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi on his death anniversary and stated that “Bharat is all set to fulfill Bapu’s dream of becoming Vikhsit.”

He noted that 25 crore Indians have risen above the Below Poverty Line (BPL) category in the last decade, reflecting the government’s commitment to inclusive development.

Citing a recent State Bank of India (SBI) report, he pointed out that rural poverty, which stood at 26% in 2012, has now been reduced to less than 5% in 2024.

*DREAMS BAPU HAD ENVISIONED BEING FULFILLED*

Emphasizing Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals, the LG said, “The dreams Bapu had envisioned are being fulfilled. Gandhiji always wanted every section of society to be empowered, and his principles continue to provide us with a roadmap for Viksit Bharat.”

He added that by following Gandhiji’s philosophy, India can achieve great heights and show a new direction to the world. “We are striving to make Bharat Viksit by 2047, and this mission aligns with Bapu’s lifelong commitment to wiping tears from every eye,” he remarked.

LG Sinha also recalled Gandhiji’s Karachi Convention of 1931, where he advocated for justice and equality, noting that the vision outlined then is now becoming the foundation for a developed India.

Highlighting the progress made in women’s empowerment, the Lieutenant Governor said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has opened new avenues for women, enabling them to excel across sectors. “Girls have been outperforming boys in academics, proving that they are no less than men,” he added.

*PRAISES HOLISTIC AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME IN J&K*

Turning to agriculture, LG Sinha praised the Holistic Agricultural Development Programme (HADP) for farmers in Jammu and Kashmir, which has led to a revolution in farming practices. “Farmers are adopting innovative methods, proving their capability to achieve new heights. Gandhiji always recognized the wisdom of Indian farmers, and today, their contributions are shaping a self-reliant India,” he said.

LG Sinha also underlined the government’s efforts to create employment opportunities for the youth, emphasizing the need for collective action.

“People want Swaraj, and I want Swaraj too. But first, we must take the initiative; only then will the government follow,” LG Sinha quoted Gandhiji as having said.

*GANDHIJI’S PRINCIPLES GUIDING FORCE FOR US*

Referring to the principles and values of Mahatma Gandhi, LG Sinha said, “The principles and values of truth and non-violence to which Gandhiji was always committed are beyond time and place. They are as relevant today as they were during his lifetime. He has guided us for peaceful resolution of differences and well-being of every Indian.”

The Lieutenant Governor honoured the family members of the army brave-hearts, and also paid homage to all the leaders, fighters, and martyrs who devoted themselves towards India’s freedom. “The world, that we live in today, is witnessing conflicts. In many parts of the globe, societies are facing disruption because of ongoing aggression. In such a scenario, the need for peace and non-violence is deeply felt. I am confident in this situation Bapu’s ideals will show the right path to humanity,” LG said.

The Lieutenant Governor called upon every section of the society to rededicate themselves to the ideals and values of Mahatma Gandhi and come together for the cause of empowerment of poor, youth, women and farmers and make their valuable contribution to realise the vision of Viksit Bharat.

The Lieutenant Governor commended the Gandhi Global Family J&K, for its constant endeavours to promote Gandhian values and spreading the noble message of Truth, Non-Violence and Social Harmony.

Responding to the demand put forth by the President of Gandhi Global Family J&K, Padma Shri Dr S.P. Varma, Lieutenant Governor assured that the month-long Gandhi Jayanti celebrations will continue across J&K as per the past practice.

He said that humanity can achieve the right path and goal of peace, harmony and development in Jammu Kashmir, the country and the world only by following the ideals of Bapu.
