Gold and Silver Rs up

Gold of 99.5 per cent purity increased Rs 50 to reclaim its all-time high level of Rs 96,000 per 10 grams against the previous close of Rs 95,950 per 10 grams.

Silver prices climbed by Rs 2,500 to Rs 97,500 per kg on the back of fresh industrial demand.

“Gold prices remain steady near all-time highs, buoyed by a weakening dollar and persistent uncertainty surrounding US trade policy,” Chintan Mehta, Chief Executive Officer at Abans Financial Services, said.

    Gold down, futures ease

    Gold prices were stuck in range-bound trade on Thursday as investors awaited U.S. non-farm payrolls data that could influence the Federal Reserve’s timeline for interest rate cuts.

    Kentuckians could sue Gov. Andy Beshear over a gold and silver sales tax

    Follow up on Kentucky considers bill to entice gold and silver investors

    House Bill 2, introduced last week by Rep. T.J. Roberts, R-Burlington, and backed by several other GOP representatives, would void a controversial line-item budget veto by Beshear last year that prevented state lawmakers from exempting “bullion currency” — or gold and silver coins — from taxation.

    The proposed bill would also give people who have paid sales taxes on gold and silver since August — when the exemption was set to take effect — the power to use the courts to seek a refund along with $1,000 for “each day that the violation occurred,” paid by the governor’s office.

    Gold futures up

    Gold futures tick higher on tariff uncertainty and short-term monetary policy outlook. Futures are up 0.2% at $3,233.60 a troy ounce, near Friday’s record high of $3,263/oz.

    The uncertainty both boosted gold’s safe-haven demand and weakened the U.S. dollar as an alternative safe asset, further enhancing gold’s appeal, Commerzbank says.

    Gold and silver fall

    Spot gold was down 0.4% at $3,101.01 an ounce, as of 0710 GMT. Still, bullion was on track for a fifth consecutive weekly gain, buoyed by its safe-haven appeal that aided gold to reach three record highs this week.

    “Gold tends to rally amid difficult-to-price uncertainty – like the start of a war – but tends to lose that support once markets learn how to price the risks involved,” said Ilya Spivak, head of global macro at Tastylive.

    “The Trump administration seems to have picked a road, and while sentiment clearly doesn’t like it, at least the path of least resistance is more visible and easier to price. That is trimming some of gold’s “market confusion” premium.”

    Spot silver declined 1.5% to $31.4 an ounce, platinum lost 0.8% to $944.80, and palladium was steady at $928.33.
