International precious metals prices strengthened, with gold reaching historic peaks amidst global uncertainty. US President Donald Trump’s proposal for 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium imports heightened trade concerns, prompting investors to seek safer assets.
“Gold prices also gained after China started a pilot program that allowed insurers to buy gold for the first time and that move could free up to $27 billion of funds. Gold prices are moving towards $3,000 per troy ounce levels. However, the dollar index also gained and crossed 108 marks and could limit gains of precious metals,” Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvifinmart Commodity Research was quoted as saying by ET.
The US Dollar Index, DXY, showed a 0.13% increase of 0.14, reaching near 108.46.
“We expect gold and silver prices to remain volatile this week amid volatility in the dollar index and the US trade war and ahead of the US Fed Chairman’s testify,” Jain added.
