Gold consolidates in the $50 range before a decisive move: Augmont Bullion Report
Gold prices are consolidating in a range between $2885 and $2935, spurred by a weaker US dollar and safe-haven flows as fears about the US economy grow amid growing trade tensions.
Concerns over a probable economic slowdown were heightened after President Donald Trump stated that the US economy was in a moment of transition while refusing to rule out the chance that his policies would create a recession.
This comes after the United States delayed imposing 25% tariffs on several Canadian and Mexican imports for a month, while Canada maintained its first retaliatory measures. China also levied further duties on some American agriculture products in reaction to Trump’s latest tariff increases on Chinese imports. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged increased economic uncertainties but expressed no need to decrease interest rates.
Investors are now looking forward to US inflation statistics later this week, which may impact the Fed’s monetary policy position.
Technical Triggers
Gold prices are consolidating in a range between $2885(~Rs 85400) and $2935(~Rs 86200), prices need to break this range for decisive move towards upside momentum of $2975 (~Rs 87000).
Silver May Futures is gaining strength and if sustains above $330(~Rs 96700), the next target is $340(~Rs 100,000), and once it sustains above that, it can head higher towards $350(~Rs 103,000).

BlueStone, SafeGold Launch Platform To Convert Idle Gold Into Digital Assets
New initiative enables customers to earn around 4% annual returns in gold grams while supporting gold monetisation and reducing import dependence.
SafeGold has partnered with BlueStone to launch a platform that enables consumers to convert idle physical gold into digital gold, lease it out and earn an annual yield of around 4% in gold grams. The initiative aims to mobilise India’s vast household gold reserves while reducing the country’s dependence on gold imports.
Customers can bring their old gold jewellery or coins to BlueStone stores, where the gold will be assayed, digitised and converted into digital gold through the SafeGold platform. They can then lease their holdings and earn returns in gold grams, allowing their gold holdings to grow irrespective of price movements.
India is estimated to hold nearly 30,000 tonnes of household gold, much of which remains idle. According to SafeGold, bringing even a fraction of this gold into the formal economy can improve capital availability for the jewellery industry while lowering the need for fresh imports.
