Gold Prices Today: Gold Slips, Tariffs Grip: Markets Get a Bit of Drama and Glitter
Gold gave a little shimmer on Tuesday—only to dull down by Wednesday. MCX opened with a 0.31% dip, quoting ₹96,290 for 10 grams of 24-carat and ₹90,556.28 for 22-carat. Bullion rates followed suit, sliding 0.26% to RS 96,540 (24-carat) and Rs 88,495 (22-carat). Chennai’s got the priciest gold in the pack, while New Delhi’s offering more wallet-friendly sparkle. Silver’s basically standing still—Rs 108,027/kg on MCX and ₹108,110 in the bullion market, marking a microscopic 0.01% drop.
But wait—there’s more than just metal movement. Across the pond, President Donald Trump has fired off the first batch of tariff letters to 14 countries (Myanmar and Laos catching the brunt with up to 40%). He also signed an executive order pausing a separate set of reciprocal tariffs, pushing trade talks to “maybe August 1″—unless he changes his mind (which he might). “Firm, but not 100% firm,” he teased.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed more letters are incoming this week.
So while gold cools off and silver chills, global trade’s heating up. Are you hedging your bets, stacking coins, or just here for the political popcorn? Let us know!
