Gold climbs Rs 550 to Rs 99,120/10 g; silver remains flat
Gold of 99.5 per cent purity increased by Rs 500 to Rs 98,600 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes). The precious metal of 99.9 per cent purity had closed at Rs 98,570 per 10 grams on Monday. New Delhi, Jul 8 (PTI) Gold prices climbed Rs 550 to Rs 99,120 per 10 grams in the national capital on Tuesday due to fresh buying by stockists, according to the All India Sarafa Association. Additionally, silver prices remain unchanged for the third straight session at Rs 1,04,800 per kilogram (inclusive of all taxes) on Tuesday. Meanwhile, spot gold in the international markets depreciated by USD 11.42 or 0.34 per cent to USD 3,325.09 per ounce. 'Gold reversed yesterday's losses and traded higher on Tuesday as concerns about the potential resumption of a trade war grew. This shift in sentiment followed President Donald Trump's announcement of plans to impose 25 per cent tariffs on goods imported from Japan and South Korea, effective August 1. 'This decision reflects President Trump's wider initiative to reform US trade policies, which have consistently created uncertainty in the markets. This uncertainty acts as a tailwind for the safe-haven asset gold,' Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst – Commodities at HDFC Securities, said. Investors will closely watch developments on US trade negotiations, the Fed's commentary in meeting minutes, and fresh inflation data, all of which could determine gold's next move, Abans Financial Services' Chief Executive Officer Chintan Mehta said. According to Tejas Shigrekar, Senior Technical Analyst- Commodities and Currencies, Angel One, gold continues to be a fundamental hedge asset. Market players are juggling weakening US economic data, increased geopolitical tensions, and ongoing inflation in developed economies as of July 2025. 'While indicating the end of rate hikes, central banks, particularly the Federal Reserve, continue to exercise caution and allow for data-driven changes. With treasury inflows stabilising and real yields plateauing, gold futures are remaining strong. 'Since June, the dollar has weakened, increasing the appeal of gold to customers. Long-term demand has also been sustained by central bank purchases, particularly from developing nations like China and India,' Shigrekar said. After a temporary break, ETF inflows have resumed, and jewellery markets continue to exhibit robust physical demand, he added. PTI HG HG BAL BAL This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Buch says Jane St probe started during her stint, denies regulatory failure
Attempts are being made to create a 'false narrative of regulatory failure,' Buch, whose term ended in March this year, said. In a written statement after the publishing of a media report, Buch pointed to chronology in Sebi's interim order against Jane Street, which has been accused of gaining at least Rs 4,800 crore through market manipulation in support of her claim. Mumbai, Jul 8 (PTI) Former Sebi chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch on Tuesday said the capital markets regulator was seized of the Jane Street matter since April 2024, and termed attempts to imply regulatory failure as 'unfortunate'. 'It is extremely unfortunate that certain sections of the media are choosing to ignore facts in plain sight and seeking to create a false narrative by implying that there was regulatory failure by Sebi,' the statement by Buch said. Buch said the chronology shows that Sebi commenced examination of the matter as early as April 2024. The regulator took 'numerous steps', including identification of the index manipulation, issuance of circulars and caution letter to Jane street to cease and desist from undertaking certain trading patterns between April 2024 and February 2025, she said. There were policy interventions initiated by Sebi as well in October 2024, and finally, in February 2025, Sebi instructed the NSE to issue a 'cease and desist' letter to Jane Street. As per the order issued last Friday, Jane Street restarted trading activities intended to gain through market manipulations in May this year, ultimately leading to the order. According to market watchers, Sebi usually takes over a year to complete investigations. During Buch's term as the chairperson, Sebi had been disclosing pendency of investigations and other requests, seeking to minimise the timelines. In an order released in the early hours of Friday, the market regulator has found Jane Street, a New York-based hedge fund, guilty of manipulating the indices by taking bets in the cash, and, futures and options markets simultaneously for making handsome gains. It has suspended the hedge fund from accessing the market and impounded over Rs 4,843 crore in gains. The probe has found that JS made a profit of Rs 36,671 crore on a net basis during the probe period from January 2023-May 2025. PTI AA TRB This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

ITC to scale up value-added agri products portfolio: Annual report
The company plans to straddle across multiple value chains comprising spices, coffee, frozen marine products and processed food. In the annual report for 2024-25, the Kolkata-headquartered company said the scope and operations of its agri-business have grown manifold over the years and currently encompasses over 3.5 million tonnes of annual throughput in 22 states. Kolkata, Jul 8 (PTI) Diversified conglomerate ITC Limited said that the strategic focus of its agriculture business continues to be on accelerating growth by scaling up its value-added agri-products portfolio. Segment revenue of ITC's agri business increased 25 per cent year-on-year to Rs 19,753 crore in 2024-25. The company consolidated its position as a preferred supply chain partner to buyers in spices like chilli, cumin, turmeric and coriander, according to the annual report. The business continues to scale up its organic and integrated crop management programmes, expanding organic cultivation across multiple states to meet the growing demand, it said. The company said the business strengthened its footprint across key international markets, particularly in Europe and the Middle East. ITC continues to be one of the leading exporters of value-added frozen marine products, it said in the annual report. During the year, international coffee prices surged primarily due to lower supply in global markets by major producing countries like Brazil and Vietnam. However, Indian coffee exports witnessed robust growth, and the company leveraged its strategic sourcing in major coffee-growing regions of the country, it said. In the shrimp segment, the industry faced a challenging environment marked by volatile farm gate prices and supply chain headwinds. The company expanded its reach through market development in countries like Greece, Israel and Malaysia, it said. PTI dc BDC This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
