Market Insights by Augmont – Gold Hits Record Highs Amid Global Trade Tensions
Gold has surged to new record highs of $2955 (~Rs 86,800), driven by rising global trade tensions and increased safe-haven demand. Market movements were influenced by U.S. trade policies, including President Trump’s shifting stance on tariffs, and lower-than-expected U.S. inflation, which eased concerns about restrictive Fed policies. Technical analysis suggests further upside potential for both gold and silver. Augmont provides key insights on market trends, support, and resistance levels for informed decision-making
