Gold maintains its winning streak above $3025 (~Rs 88500) as Trump’s tariffs are projected to exacerbate inflation and economic turmoil. Trump said he would hold Iran accountable for any strikes carried out by the Houthi group it supports in Yemen, as his administration escalated the largest US military operation in the Middle East since Trump came to the White House.

Central banks’ accumulation of gold reserves, inflation concerns, and rising demand after the pandemic have contributed to the surge in gold prices.

The Fed is expected to maintain its benchmark interest rate in the 4.25%-4.50% range after its two-day policy meeting on Wednesday.

In response to geopolitical disruptions impacting global trade and logistics, the government has announced a one-time procedural relaxation for the gems & jewellery sector.

The re-export period for imported diamonds sent for certification/grading has been extended to 120 days from 90 days. Additionally, the timeline for re-import of gems and jewellery exported for overseas exhibitions has been increased by 30 days beyond the existing limit.

The export period for Foreign Buyer supplies has also been extended to 120 days, according to the Directorate General of Foreign Trade. Further, timelines under replenishment, outright purchase, and loan basis exports have been enhanced.

These measures aim to ease compliance requirements, reduce procedural stress, and ensure smoother export transactions amid delays caused by the ongoing West Asia conflict.

Importantly, exporters will not be required to file separate applications, nor pay any amendment or composition fees to avail this relief. Customs authorities have been directed to facilitate transactions subject to verification, ensuring business continuity and greater certainty for trade.

In response to geopolitical tensions in West Asia, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has introduced facilitative provisions under HBP-2023, extending export and import timelines for the gems and jewellery sector by 30 days without requiring any fees or applications.

Key changes include extending the re-export period for diamonds sent for certification/grading from 90 to 120 days, along with similar relief for exports involving precious metals supplied by foreign buyers. Timelines have also been eased for the re-import of jewellery from overseas exhibitions and exports under replenishment, outright purchase, and loan schemes.

The one-time relaxation aims to ensure smooth transaction completion, reduce logistical disruptions, and maintain continuity in trade flows. Exporters can avail of the extension without filing fresh applications or paying additional charges, while customs authorities will process transactions after necessary verification.

Industry stakeholders attribute the disruptions to recent geopolitical tensions, including the US-Israel attack on Iran, which has impacted air and sea routes across the Middle East.

Welcoming the move, former Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) chairman Colin Shah said the extension offers timely relief to exporters facing shipment challenges, expressing hope for improved conditions soon.
