Gold prices touch Rs 1 lakh/10 gm mark: AUGMONT BULLION REPORT
Gold prices reached a record high of $3397 (~Rs 96747) on exchanges and nearly Rs 1 lakh in the spot market after adding 3% GST. Concerns over global economic growth as a result of the escalating Sino-U.S. trade war are driving the rise, with a weaker dollar adding to the momentum.
Fundamentally, markets are pricing in increased geopolitical risks, fueled by U.S. trade tensions and stagflation concerns, while persistent central bank demand adds to price pressures. On April 2, US President Donald Trump imposed “reciprocal tariffs” on dozens of countries, and while his administration has suspended duties for some, it has escalated its trade war with China.
China cautioned countries on Monday not to strike a bigger economic deal with the United States at its expense, a move Trump is allegedly looking for from countries seeking tariff reductions or exemptions. Meanwhile, Trump launched a slew of attacks on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Thursday, as his administration considers firing him.
On the geopolitical front, Russia and Ukraine accused one other of hundreds of strikes that breached President Vladimir Putin’s one-day Easter ceasefire, with the Kremlin claiming there was no instruction to extend the pause in frontline fighting.
The next potential milestone for gold could be around $3500 (~Rs 100,000) if this rally continues further, but positioning may appear crowded in the short run, and technical indications suggest near-term overbought circumstances. However, one must exercise extreme caution because prices have skyrocketed in a relatively short period. If prices fall below $3300 (~Rs 94300), profit-booking can lower prices to around $3100 (~Rs 90000). Silver prices have been trading in the range of $32 (~ Rs 94000) and $33 (~ Rs 97000) and to to continue same range in the coming week

Kalyan Jewellers Celebrates ‘Bangaliana’ with Soulful Poila Boishakh Campaign
Celebrating Bengal’s Heritage, The Campaign Blends Nostalgia, Tradition, and Craftsmanship Through Storytelling and Timeless Jewellery
Kalyan Jewellers, one of India’s most trusted jewellery brands, has unveiled a new digital campaign to mark Poila Boishakh, the Bengali New Year. Featuring actress Ritabhari Chakraborty, the film is a heartfelt ode to Bengal’s cultural identity, bringing together nostalgia, craftsmanship and the enduring legacy of traditions passed down through generations.
At the heart of the film is a tender interaction between Ritabhari and a young boy, centred around the iconic ‘Talpatar Sepai,’ a traditional palm-leaf toy that reflects Bengal’s artistic roots. As the moment unfolds, the toy becomes a subtle symbol of the region’s craftsmanship and cultural memory, drawing a connection between childhood nostalgia and the finesse of handcrafted gold jewellery. The narrative then moves to a poignant moment where an elder presents a gold necklace, capturing the emotional value of jewellery in Bengali households, where each piece is not just worn, but cherished as a symbol of love, tradition and continuity. It reflects how jewellery often carries personal histories, passed down through generations as an enduring link between the past and the present.
Built around the theme “Oitijhyer Choway Notuner Boron” (welcoming the new with a touch of tradition), the campaign reinforces Kalyan Jewellers’ positioning at the intersection of cultural legacy and contemporary relevance. The brand also showcases a curated range of traditional designs inspired by Bengal’s intricate craftsmanship and grand aesthetic sensibilities.
Reinforcing its commitment to trust and transparency, Kalyan Jewellers continues to offer its signature 4-Level Assurance Certificate, ensuring purity certification, lifetime maintenance, transparent product details, and secure buy-back policies. This initiative provides customers with complete confidence during the auspicious gold-buying season.
With this campaign, Kalyan Jewellers invites consumers to celebrate the spirit of Poila Boishakh by embracing jewellery not just as adornment, but as a living expression of heritage and storytelling.
