Gold Rate In India Skyrockets After US Auto Tariff Shock; Check Latest 22K, 24K, 18K Gold Price on March 27

Gold prices in India today surged strongly following a major announcement from the US that sent shockwaves through the auto sector. The impact was felt across the commodities market as investors rushed toward gold as a safe-haven asset.
After a brief correction in the past few days, the gold rate in India rebounded sharply, driven by renewed bullish momentum. The latest spike comes after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on imported cars and light trucks, set to take effect next week, further escalating global trade tensions.

This development also triggered a significant rally in international gold prices, which in turn influenced the Indian bullion market, taking the gold rate in India towards record highs once again.

"Spot gold is likely to rise towards the $3040 level as long as it stays above the $3000 level. On the contrary, break below the $3000 level; prices may slip further towards the $2980/$2960 levels." according to the ICICI Direct Research report.

Gold price Outlook Ahead

"Gold is expected to rise back towards the $3040 level on expectation of weakness in the dollar and US treasury yields. Further, demand for safe haven may increase on concerns that US President Donald Trump's tariff policies will ignite a potential global trade war, hurting economic growth and fuelling inflation. US President Donald Trump unveiled a 25% tariff on imported cars and light trucks starting next week and plans to announce reciprocal tariffs on the countries responsible for the bulk of the US trade deficit on 2nd April, widening the global trade war. Meanwhile, hawkish comments from Fed officials will cap sharp up moves in prices." As per the ICICI Direct research report.

Fundamental Outlook: Gold and silver prices are trading slightly higher today on the international bourses. We expect precious metal prices on Indian bourses to trade range-bound to higher for the day, as gold prices are steady near a record high after US consumer confidence fell sharply, signalling trouble for the world's No. 1 economy, noted by Nirmal Bang securities.
