Gold Rate In India Today Creates A Fresh Record, March 28: 22K/100g Surges Rs.10,500; Silver Shines Bright

Gold prices in India today spiked massively, crossing record levels once again on Friday. This marks the second consecutive rise in gold rates after the week started on a bearish note, with prices falling sharply, bringing relief to retail buyers.
The sudden surge in gold rates in India is due to the U.S. tariff imposition set to take effect from April 2, which has intensified global trade war fears, driving investors toward safe-haven assets like gold. Market participants are now closely watching the U.S. consumption data, which is expected to provide fresh insights into the economy, potentially pushing gold prices even higher.

Spot Gold Price and Spot Silver Rate

As per a Reuters report, "spot gold climbed 0.4% to $3,030.47 per ounce as of 0247 GMT, while U.S. gold futures advanced 0.5% to $3,036.00. Meanwhile, spot silver edged down 0.1% to $33.69 per ounce. Spot gold prices surged on Thursday, driven by escalating global trade tensions following the U.S. auto tariff announcement, ahead of the April 2 deadline for reciprocal tariffs from the world's largest economy."

Outlook For Gold Prices Ahead

"Spot gold prices ended on a positive note, gaining more than 1%, while silver prices rose more than 2 % yesterday on a weak dollar. Further, gold prices hit a new record high on safe haven buying in response to escalating global trade tensions following US President Donald Trump's announcement of new auto tariffs. Gold is expected to move to a higher $3075 level on expectation of weakness in the dollar and US treasury yields. Further, escalating global trade tension and weaker equity markets after US President Donald Trump's new auto tariff policies would increase the safe haven appeal of the yellow metal. Meanwhile, all focus will remain on key US core PCE price index data, which could give further clarity on the Fed's interest rate trajectory. Any surprise gain in the number would restrict the upside move in the bullions. • On the data front, fresh additions of OI in OTM put strikes indicate gold will hold strong support near the $3025 level, and on the upside, immediate resistance exists near the $3075 level. A move above $3075 would rise further towards $3100." As per the ICICI Direct research report.
