Gold slips on easing trade tensions : AUGMONT BULLION REPORT
• Gold prices have slipped by the easing of tariffs and the willingness of both the United States and China to listen and back off. The United States has reached out to China for talks regarding President Donald Trump’s 145% tariffs, and Beijing is amenable to them.
• Meanwhile, U.S. manufacturing shrank for a second consecutive month in April as supply chains were constrained by tariffs on imported goods, which kept prices high at the factory gate and prompted some companies to fire employees.
• The US NFP data which is expected to be announced today is expected to show a 130,000 job gain in April, down from a stellar 228,000 job creations reported in March. A reading below 100,000 could raise concerns about the impact of tariffs on the US labor market and bring a rebound in gold price.
Technical Triggers
• Gold prices have retraced 50% of their rally from $2970 (~Rs 86650) to $3509 (~Rs 99350). Now we can expect some consolidation to bearishness towards $3200(~Rs 92000) and $3170(~Rs 91500).
•Silver prices are expected to consolidate between $32 (~Rs 93500) and $34(~Rs 98500).

IFSCA Notifies India Good Delivery Gold Framework
GJEPC Seeks Swift Rollout and Global Recognition. The Framework Is Expected To Strengthen Responsible Sourcing, Build Confidence In Indian-Refined Gold and Create Opportunities For Bullion Exports.
GJEPC has urged the Government to expedite international recognition and the implementation of the India Good Delivery Gold framework, following the notification of the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) (Good Delivery) Guidelines, 2026. The framework is expected to strengthen responsible sourcing, build confidence in Indian-refined gold and create opportunities for bullion exports.
The guidelines establish a framework for quality assurance, responsible sourcing and traceability in gold refining. IFSCA, India’s unified regulator for financial products, services and institutions operating in International Financial Services Centres, will implement the framework through the Bullion Exchange in the IFSC. Gold from accredited refiners that meets the prescribed requirements can qualify for delivery on IFSC exchanges and for over-the-counter trading.
The framework extends beyond the purity and quality of gold bars to address their provenance. Refiners must trace raw gold to its source, assess supply-chain risks, verify suppliers and beneficial owners, and meet applicable responsible-sourcing requirements. Independent third-party audits will provide additional assurance.
The initiative follows the recommendations by NITI Aayog, a policy think tank, which had called for an India Good Delivery Standard and responsible-sourcing guidelines for refineries. The report highlighted the potential of domestic refining to retain more value within India, generate employment and support exports.
