Bluestone, a jewellery brand, is in talks to negotiate an investment of around Rs 830 crore from Peak XV Partners, Steadview Capital, and Think Investments.

The pre-IPO round will combine share sales by early investors with new capital, aiming to value the omnichannel retailer at approximately Rs 7,500 crore ($900 million) before the infusion, as per the report.

Venture capital firm Peak XV Partners will reportedly invest around Rs 415 crore in the round. A source speaking to the Economic Times said, “Peak XV is in talks to lead the funding amid a wider inclination for venture funds to tap domestic brands and offline retailers.”

Further, some family offices via special-purpose vehicles might also reportedly participate in the round. The round is expected to be closed in the next few days.

In September 2023, Bluestone raised $65 million from a group of investors at a valuation of $410 million.

MCX Gold, Silver Futures For August Delivery Rise On Renewed Geopolitical Tensions

For Precious Metals Investors, The Immediate Focus Remains On Developments In The Middle East, Where Any Escalation Capable Of Driving Oil Prices Higher Could Reinforce Gold’s Appeal As A Hedge Against Inflation and Geopolitical Uncertainty.

Gold prices climbed sharply on Tuesday as investors sought the safety of precious metals amid renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with concerns that higher energy prices could rekindle inflationary pressures. On the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), gold futures for August delivery rose 0.57% to Rs 1,42,150 per 10 grams in early trade. Silver outperformed, with the September contract gaining 1.04% to Rs 2,20,668 per kilogram.

The rally mirrored moves in international markets, where bullion rebounded as investors stepped in to buy on price weakness while closely tracking the escalating confrontation between the United States and Iran. Traders are increasingly focused on whether renewed military action could disrupt energy markets, lifting crude oil prices and complicating the global inflation outlook.

Spot gold traded near the $4,000-an-ounce mark after slipping 0.2% in the previous session, according to Bloomberg data. The recovery reflected a renewed preference for safe-haven assets as geopolitical risks intensified.

Oil prices, however, edged lower after two consecutive sessions of gains, even as U.S. forces carried out a fresh wave of strikes on Iranian targets. The pullback in crude suggests markets are still weighing the likelihood of any sustained disruption to global energy supplies.

For precious metals investors, the immediate focus remains on developments in the Middle East, where any escalation capable of driving oil prices higher could reinforce gold’s appeal as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainty.
