Precious Metals surges on mounting geopolitical and trade tensions AUGMONT BULLION REPORT
- Investors’ reactions to rising trade and geopolitical tensions caused gold to jump nearly 3% and silver to rise 5%. To further sour relations with trading partners, US President Donald Trump threatened to double tariffs on steel and aluminium from 25% to 50% beginning Wednesday.
- At the same time, tensions between Beijing and Washington grew as Trump accused China of breaking a trade agreement with the US. China responded with accusations of its own, further escalating trade uncertainty worldwide. According to the White House, President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet later this week, and markets are now anticipating their possible meeting.
- In the meantime, a Ukrainian drone strike that allegedly destroyed more than 40 Russian aircraft sparked a barrage of missile and drone attacks from Moscow, intensifying the war between Russia and Ukraine. Monday’s negotiations in Istanbul concluded after the two parties met for just over an hour without moving much forward toward a deal.
Technical Triggers
- Gold prices have broken the range of $3275(~Rs 95000) and $3375(~Rs 96400) on the upside. If this positive momentum continues, we are likely to see the price rise towards $3450 (~Rs 99000).
- Silver prices ahave broken the one month range of $32.5(~Rs 96000) and $34(~Rs 99000), next resistance is $35 (~Rs 101,500).

Precious Metals Gain As Crude Prices Weaken
Slumping Crude Prices and A Weaker Greenback Offer Support To Gold and Silver, Even As Federal Reserve Interest-Rate Uncertainty Looms
Gold and silver prices edged higher on Monday morning, finding support in a softening U.S. dollar and a sharp retreat in global energy prices after President Donald Trump announced that Washington would enter diplomatic talks with Tehran.
The prospect of a diplomatic breakthrough in the Middle East provided immediate relief to global markets, driving crude oil benchmarks down more than 5% to trade near $83 per barrel. The decline in energy costs helped alleviate broader fears of persistent, energy-driven inflation, while the U.S. Dollar Index slipped 0.50% to 99.42—falling below the key 100 mark and making dollar-denominated bullion more attractive to international buyers.
On India’s Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures for October delivery traded up 0.13% at Rs 1,43,557 per 10 grams during early deals. Silver futures for September delivery rose 0.40% to Rs 2,18,061 per kilogram.
The market shift follows statements from President Trump over the weekend indicating that discussions with Iranian officials would take place on Monday. While Mr. Trump set no firm deadline for an agreement, the move raised hopes for a resolution regarding the impasse over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and a potential agreement to guarantee safe passage through the vital Strait of Hormuz.
