Overall, the global economy exhibited positive momentum, with key indices reaching new highs, supported by strong corporate earnings and easing trade tensions.

Gold Trends:

Internationally, Gold prices reached an 11-week high, with spot gold trading at $2,751.89 per ounce, marking a 0.3% increase. This rise is largely attributed to uncertainties surrounding U.S. trade policies and a softer dollar, which have heightened safe-haven demand for the precious metal.

Over the past 30 days, gold has appreciated by approximately 4.81%, and over the past year, it has surged by 34.39%.

In India, gold prices have mirrored the international uptrend. The 24-carat gold rate is ₹7,636 per gram, equating to ₹76,360 per 10 grams. For 22-carat gold, the rate is ₹7,161 per gram, or ₹71,610 per 10 grams.

Over the past 30 days, gold prices in India have increased by approximately 5.09%, and over the past year, they have risen by 39.08%.

In summary, both international and Indian gold markets are experiencing significant price increases, driven by global economic factors and domestic market anticipations
