Sixteen record highs in gold:Augmont Bullion Report

Published

on

Gold reached an all-time high of $3065 (~Rs 89800) as the Federal Reserve hinted at two probable interest rate cuts this year. This bolstered metal’s attractiveness despite continued geopolitical and economic difficulties, prompting gold to post 16 new highs so far in 2025, four of which exceeded the $3000 mark.

On Wednesday, the Fed left its benchmark overnight rate constant in the 4.25%-4.50% range, but geopolitical concerns persisted as the Israeli military launched ground operations in central and southern Gaza, killing at least 48 Palestinians in airstrikes.

The Trump administration’s initial policies, including extensive import tariffs, appear to have pushed the U.S. economy toward slower growth and, at least temporarily, greater inflation, both of which are supporting the gold rise.

Technical Triggers      

Gold Apr Futures after having achieved the $3035 (~Rs 88800) milestone, now is expected to extend this run up towards $3080 (~Rs 90000) in the coming weeks. After that, we can see some retracement and profit-booking, which can extend down to $2800 and $2700 maximum.

While Silver May Futures has also climbed above $34(~Rs 100,000) on strong demand, the next resistance for the prices is $35(~Rs 103,000).

De Beers Q3 Sales Volume Rises 71% Year On Year On Price Cuts

Performance Remains Weighed Down By A Shift Toward Lower-Value Goods and Ongoing Pressure From Lab-Grown Diamonds

Published

on

De Beers Q3 total rough-diamond sales volume jumped 71% year-on-year to 9.8M carats. Consolidated volume surged 91% to 8.7M carats, driven by aggressive July price cuts that sparked buyer demand.

​Price Drop Capped Revenue: The average selling price tumbled 45% to $84/carat (price index down 20%). As a result, Q3 consolidated revenue rose only 4% to $731M, while year-to-date revenue dropped 15% to $2.04B.

Production Target Raised: 2026 production guidance increased to 25–28M carats following full acquisition of the Gahcho Kué mine, boosting De Beers’ share of output without adding extra supply to the global market.

Market Pressures: Performance remains weighed down by a shift toward lower-value goods and ongoing pressure from lab-grown diamonds in price-sensitive categories.

Signs of Stability: Anglo American reported stabilizing rough-diamond conditions, supported by improved consumer demand in the US and India and a better-balanced supply-demand landscape.
