Gold prices firm above Rs 1 lakh mark, hover near all-time highs ahead of RBI MPC outcome. What to expect?
Ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) outcome on Wednesday, precious metals were trading firmly. On the MCX, gold October futures were slightly lower by Rs 113 or 0.11% at Rs 1,01,091 per 10 grams, while silver September futures were marginally higher by Rs 115 or 0.10% at Rs 1,12,351 per kg. ADVERTISEMENT On Monday, both gold and silver settled on a positive note in domestic and international markets. The gold October futures contract closed at Rs 1,01,204 per 10 grams, up 1.45%, while the silver September contract ended at Rs 1,12,236 per kg, gaining 1.79%. Gold and silver extended their gains during a highly volatile session, as downbeat U.S. job data increased the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in its September meeting. The dollar index and U.S. 10-year bond yields continued to decline, further supporting precious metal prices. As of today, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) was hovering near the 98.94 mark, down 0.16 or 0.16%.'Gold and silver also gained amid the U.S. President's threat to impose higher trade tariffs on India over Russian oil imports. The rupee slipped to a 5-1/2 month low against the U.S. dollar, supporting gold and silver prices in the domestic market,' said Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvifinmart Commodity Research.'Gold is trading near its long-term resistance of $3,454 per troy ounce. If prices sustain above this level on a closing basis, further strength could be seen in upcoming sessions,' he added. ADVERTISEMENT Jain expects gold and silver prices to remain volatile this week due to U.S. tariff concerns and fluctuations in the dollar index. How to Trade Gold? Manoj Kumar Jain suggested the following key technical levels for trading on MCX: ADVERTISEMENT - Gold: Support at Rs 1,00,100-99,650 | Resistance at Rs 1,01,555-1,02,200- Silver: Support at Rs 1,11,650-1,11,100 | Resistance at Rs 1,13,000-1,14,200- Strategy: Jain recommends buying silver above Rs 1,12,000 with a stop loss of Rs 1,11,100 for a target of Rs 1,14,000.

Lionel Messi's Kerala Trip With Argentina National Team Cancelled. Here's Why
One of the greatest footballers of all time, Lionel Messi, is a name that arguably resonates with every single football fan across the globe. While European and American (both North and South) fans have had many opportunities to watch the Argentine maestro play, the same hasn't been the case with Asians. As Indian football fans kept their fingers crossed, organised plans to watch Messi in action during the Argnetinian trip's visit to Kerala, a heartbreaking piece of news dropped on Monday. Kerala's Sports Minister V Abdurahiman has revealed that Messi and the Argentina national team will no longer be visiting Kerala this year. The news is truly heartbreaking for millions of football fans in India who have waited their entire lives to watch a player of the calibre of Messi in action live in their own country. However, the dream is not going to be realised anytime soon. The minister had earlier insisted that the Messi-led Argentina side would visit the state as announced by the government, and that the sponsor had already paid the match fee for the event. He told reporters on Monday that the foreign team informed them that they were facing difficulties in visiting the state in October this year, but the sponsor responded that "we are interested only in a visit in the month of October." Abdurahiman had earlier said the team was more likely to come in October or November this year, and that they would be treated as state guests, with their security, accommodation, and other facilities provided by the government.

‘Right to choose trading partners': Russia calls Trump's trade ‘threats' to India ‘not legal'
The Kremlin on Tuesday hit out at US President Donald Trump's recent remarks targeting India over its continued trade ties with Russia, calling such pressure tactics 'not legal'. Responding to Trump's announcement of a 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, 'We hear many statements that are in fact threats, attempts to force countries to cut trade relations with Russia. We do not consider such statements to be legal.' In a sharp rebuke of Trump's stance, Peskov added, 'We believe that sovereign countries should have and do have the right to choose their own trading partners, partners for trade and economic cooperation, and to choose for themselves the forms of trade and economic cooperation that are in the interests of a particular country.' The comments came days after Trump, in a July 31 post on Truth Social, vowed to impose steep tariffs on India for what he described as 'obnoxious' trade barriers. His threat included an unspecified 'penalty' for buying Russian crude. New Delhi has called Trump's threats 'unjustified' and vowed to protect its economic interests, deepening a trade rift between the two major economies.
