The yellow metal of 99.9% purity had closed at Rs 1,01,020 in the previous session.Gold of 99.5% purity also gained Rs 400 to Rs 1,01,000 per 10 grams (inclusive of taxes) from Wednesday’s Rs 1,00,600. Silver prices jumped Rs 1,500 to Rs 1,13,500 per kg (inclusive of taxes), PTI reported.“Gold and silver prices rose after traders increased their bets on the US Federal Reserve resuming interest rate cuts in the September meeting. While indications of a slowing labour market provided room for additional easing, the most recent US Consumer Price Index report allayed worries over tariff-driven inflation,” said Renisha Chainani, Head of Research at Augmont.In global markets, spot gold was marginally higher at $3,356.96 per ounce in New York. “Gold extends gains to trade ahead of US Producer Price Index and jobless claims data. However, optimism over trade, as Washington and Beijing extended their tariff truce by 90 days, and upcoming talks between US, European, Ukrainian, and Russian leaders, could temper further upside,” said Kaynat Chainwala, AVP of Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.According to Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst – Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities, dollar weakness has supported gold prices, while ongoing tariffs have also underpinned strength. He added that gold remains positive as long as the $3,280 per ounce level is held. Spot silver, however, eased 0.41% to $38.35 per ounce internationally.
