MCX Gold at fresh high; Trump tariffs drives gold prices to record high
MCX Gold prices rose to a fresh record high in the morning session on Tuesday, February 11, supported by concerns over US President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policies. MCX Gold for April 4 contracts jumped to a record high of ₹86,360 per 10 grams. Around 11:35 AM, the yellow metal was 0.12 per cent up at ₹85,923 per 10 grams on the MCX.
International gold prices topped the key $2,900 level for the first time, driven by safe-haven demand amid heightened concerns over a trade war. Comex Gold jumped to a record high of 2,968.50 level.
Trump imposed a 25 per cent tariff on steel and aluminium imports on Monday, stoking fears of a trade war. Geopolitical uncertainty and aggressive buying by central banks have boosted gold prices of late.

Safe-Haven Rebound Amid Geopolitical Easing and Macro Uncertainty Augmont Bullion Report
Gold Has Bounced From The $4,500–4,550 (~Rs. 1,49,000) Support Zone and Is Now Targeting Resistance At $4,800–4,850 (~Rs. 1,55,000)
- Safe-Haven Dynamics – Gold and silver have recovered from key support levels as Middle East de-escalation signals pressured oil prices, reducing inflation concerns. The dollar weakened against major currencies after the US indicated progress toward an Iran deal, while the yen surged to a two-month high amid intervention expectations.
- Geopolitical Developments – President Trump announced a temporary pause in “Project Freedom” — the US military’s commercial shipping escort operation through the Strait of Hormuz — to allow time for a potential Iran agreement. Trump confirmed via Truth Social that negotiations have advanced significantly toward a comprehensive deal.
- Macro-economic Signals – Market attention now shifts to the upcoming non-farm payrolls data, which will indicate whether economic resilience justifies holding Fed policy steady or whether labour market softening strengthens the case for rate cuts.
Technical Triggers
- Gold has bounced from the $4,500–4,550 (~Rs. 1,49,000) support zone and is now targeting resistance at $4,800–4,850 (~Rs. 1,55,000).
- Silver has recovered from the $73 (~Rs. 2,43,000) support level and is expected to advance toward resistance at $77–78 (~Rs. 2,54,000–2,56,000).
