Gold markets are in a tug-of-war at highs, with bears focusing on a potential ceasefire deal in Ukraine and bulls anticipating key U.S. inflation data to gauge the Federal Reserve’s interest rate path amid trade tensions and economic slowdown fears.

The US agreed to resume military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine after Kyiv agreed to a 30-day ceasefire proposal.

U.S. President Donald Trump defended his tariff policies during a meeting with CEOs of major American companies. Many of these companies have seen their market value fall due to recession and inflation fears.

Investors are awaiting U.S. CPI statistics to determine the Fed’s interest rate stance for this year.

Technical Triggers

Gold prices are consolidating in a range between $2885(~Rs 85400) and $2935(~Rs 86200), prices need to break this range for a decisive move towards upside momentum of $2975 (~Rs 87000).

Silver May Futures is gaining strength and if sustains above $33(~Rs 96700), the next target is $34(~Rs 100,000), and once it sustains above that, it can head higher towards $35(~Rs 103,000).

The Consulate General of India in New York, in collaboration with the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), organised the India-USA Virtual Exhibition on Gems & Jewellery on 23 October 2026, connecting Indian exporters with American buyers through a digital platform.

The inaugural ceremony featured welcome remarks by Ambassador HE . Binaya S. Pradhan, Consul General of India in New York, an inaugural address by Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, and closing remarks by Rajlakshmi Kadam, Consul (Trade), Consulate General of India, New York.

The exhibition brought together 35 Indian companies, many of them micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), offering US buyers an opportunity to explore Indian jewellery collections and establish direct business connections. The event was designed to help exporters reach new customers and develop partnerships in one of India’s most important markets.

Addressing participants, Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, highlighted the importance of the US market, which accounted for around 30% of India’s gem and jewellery exports, worth nearly US$10 billion, in FY2024-25. He noted that tariff uncertainty had affected trade significantly, with India’s gem and jewellery exports to the US falling by more than 44% between April and December 2025.

However, trade has begun to recover. Between April and September 2026, India’s gem and jewellery exports to the US grew nearly 6% year-on-year to almost US$3 billion, compared with US$2.77 billion in the corresponding period of 2025.

Kirit Bhansali also referred to progress on the proposed India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement, expressing hope that it would provide greater clarity and predictability for exporters and buyers once its terms are finalised.

With the US holiday season approaching, followed by Valentine’s Day and retailers’ sourcing plans for 2027, he urged American buyers to explore India’s manufacturing capabilities across diamonds, coloured gemstones and gold jewellery. He also encouraged buyers to engage directly with participating MSMEs, highlighting their skills, flexibility and ability to meet varied sourcing requirements.
