ByVictoria

The United States Mint establishes pricing on numismatic gold coins via its pricing grid, and updates were published July 1 in the Federal Register.

The LBMA closing spot price of gold per troy ounce June 30 was $3,287.45. If the average spot price were to remain at that level until the week of sales opening, the pricing grid predicts that the Mint would set the opening sale price at $2,150 for the Sacagawea 25th Anniversary half-ounce gold dollar and at $2,650 for the Superman half-ounce gold $50 coin.

    Gold prices in India skyrocketed by Rs 6,250 on Friday to reach a historic high of Rs 96,450 per 10 grams in the national capital, fuelled by robust demand from local jewellers and soaring global prices driven by heightened US-China trade tensions, according to the All India Sarafa Association.

    Gold of 99.9% purity also saw a significant jump, closing at Rs 96,450 compared to Wednesday’s Rs 90,200.

    Silver too followed suit, leaping Rs 2,300 to settle at Rs 95,500 per kg from its earlier close of Rs 93,200, mirroring the bullish global momentum.

    Comex gold futures climbed to a record USD 3,249.16 per ounce, signalling strong safe-haven demand.

    “Comex gold prices hit lifetime highs due to surging safe-haven demand, triggered by fears of a deepening global economic slowdown and further retaliation between the US and China,” said Kaynat Chainwala, AVP-Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.

    China’s unwrought copper imports declined by 7.2% year-on-year to 837,000 metric tons in the first two months of 2025, customs data on Friday showed, due to increased domestic smelting capacity that reduced the need for additional imports.

    Deliverable copper stocks on the Shanghai Futures Exchange stood at 268,337 tons on February 28, more than double the 83,174 tons recorded on January 3.
