Gold price Outlook In Near Term

As per the commodity report from the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd., "Gold declined on Monday with bond yields pushing higher amid signs that the next round of US President Donald Trump's tariffs will be more measured than previously suggested. Trump's coming wave of tariffs is poised to be more targeted than the barrage he's occasionally threatened, aides and allies say. The US leader also said that he may give a lot of countries breaks on levies. That offered some relief to financial markets and reduced appetite for haven assets such as US Treasuries and bullion. The market remains wary about the fallout from tariffs, however, as well as Trump's upending of the geopolitical order. Gold has benefited, rallying 15% so far this year and rising above $3,000 an ounce for the first time, as investors flocked to the safe safehaven asset. Strong central-bank buying and expectations for rate cuts have also aided the precious metal."
