Silver price today: Precious metal hits new all-time high of ₹1.07 lakh per kilo; gold trades flat on MCX
New Delhi, Jun 9 (PTI) Silver prices soared ₹ 1,000 to hit a fresh peak of ₹ 1,08,100 per kilogram in the national capital on Monday, in line with firm global cues, according to the All India Sarafa Association.
On Saturday, the metal traded flat at ₹ 1,07,100 per kg (inclusive of all taxes). Prior to that, the white metal on Friday had soared ₹ 3,000 to hit another record high of ₹ 1,07,100 per kilogram.
Traders said silver prices surged due to strong investor demand, a weak dollar against major currencies, heightened geopolitical tensions, and firm industrial demand from the EV and solar sectors.
Gold of 99.9 per cent purity fell ₹ 280 to ₹ 97,780 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes) on Monday. The precious metal had declined by ₹ 1,630 to ₹ 98,060 per 10 grams on Saturday.
The yellow metal of 99.5 per cent purity dipped ₹ 250 to ₹ 97,350 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes). It had depreciated by ₹ 1,500 to ₹ 97,600 per 10 grams in the previous market close.
Globally, spot gold rose marginally to USD 3,312.84 per ounce.
"Gold consolidated in the lower end of its range on Monday amid mixed signals. The highly anticipated talks between the US and China have raised hopes that the two largest economies can make progress on various disputes, which could reduce demand for safe havens".
"Additionally, the latest Nonfarm Payrolls report in the US was strong, prompting traders to re-evaluate their expectations regarding a potential easing of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve, which also serves as a headwind for the yellow metal," Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst, Commodities at HDFC Securities, said.
Spot silver rose 0.9 per cent to USD 36.30 per ounce in the international market.
"Silver prices stood out with strong gains hitting a 13-year high on the global stage and achieving lifetime highs in the domestic markets," Mehta Equities' Vice-President, Commodities Rahul Kalantri said.
"Improving sentiment from softer European inflation and trade optimism helped silver breach the USD 36 per ounce level, breaking out of a long-standing consolidation range," Kalantri added.

Warren Buffett announces USD 6 billion in donations to five foundations
New York, Jun 28 (AP) Famed investor Warren Buffett is donating USD 6 billion worth of his company's stock to five foundations, bringing the total he has given to them since 2006 to roughly $60 billion, based on their value when received. Buffett said the shares of Berkshire Hathaway will be delivered on Monday. Berkshire Hathaway owns Geico, Dairy Queen and a range of other businesses, and Buffett is donating nearly 12.4 million of the Class B shares of its stock. Those shares have a lower and easier-to-digest price tag than the company's original Class A shares, and each of the B shares was worth USD 485.68 at their most recent close on Friday. The largest tranche is going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust, which will receive 9.4 million shares. The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation will receive 943,384 shares, and the Sherwood Foundation, Howard G Buffett Foundation and NoVo Foundation will each receive 660,366 shares. Buffett made waves a year ago when he said he plans to cut off donations to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation after his death and let his three children decide how to distribute the rest of his fortune. Berkshire Hathaway's Class B stock has climbed 19.1 per cent over the last 12 months, topping the broad US stock market's return of 14.1 per cent, including dividends. Buffett is famous on Wall Street for buying companies at good prices and being more conservative when prices look too high. The bargain-hunting approach has helped him amass a fortune worth about USD 145 billion, with basically all of it in Berkshire Hathaway's stock. 'Nothing extraordinary has occurred at Berkshire; a very long runway, simple and generally sound decisions, the American tailwind and compounding effects produced my current wealth,' Buffett said in a statement. 'My will provides that about 99½% of my estate is destined for philanthropic usage.' (AP) ARI

China's big snub to US, issues license for THIS thing to European countries, Trump left in..., it is...
New Delhi: China has started issuing export licenses for rare earth elements and magnets to European companies. This has been confirmed by the South China Morning Post, citing sources in the European Union. This is being described as a big setback for the USA, as President Donald Trump has been trying his best to get this license from China for the last several months. Apart from this, European governments and companies have been lobbying for several weeks to reduce export restrictions from China. China imposed these restrictions in response to US President Donald Trump's tariffs. Apart from the US, European countries were also included in the Chinese sanctions. What did the Chinese Commerce Ministry say? Earlier on Thursday, June 26, China's Commerce Ministry said that it was 'expediting the approval of rare earth export licenses' for EU firms 'in accordance with the law.' Ministry spokesman He Yadong said, 'China is ready to further enhance communication with relevant countries on export controls, actively facilitating convenient and mutually beneficial trade.' EU sources have certainly said that there is no such thing as a green channel between China and the EU regarding this, but they have seen the Chinese ministry giving export licenses to EU countries and companies. What's next for China and European Union? Next month, a summit of China and the European Union leaders is going to be held. President Xi Jinping, Foreign Minister Wang Yi and senior EU leaders are going to meet in this conference. In such a situation, China's resumption of this license process can lead to easing of tense relations between the two sides. The European Union believes that they are caught in the middle of the trade and technological war of the two superpowers. In such a situation, they need a permanent solution to stay away from these matters. Speaking at a webinar on Thursday, the EU's trade chief for China, Eva Valle Lagares, used sharp words. She said it was 'unclear' whether Beijing had acted like 'killing chickens to scare away monkeys' and the EU had been caught in the crossfire. She was referring to the China-US trade war, which has Europe at its core and is suffering the most as it also faces tariffs from the Donald Trump administration.

World's biggest deal has happened between two countries, to directly impact economy, millions of people will be...
World's biggest deal has happened between two countries, to directly impact economy, millions of people will be… US-China Trade Agreement: In a major development, a crucial agreement has been signed between the United States and China on the trade framework. Both countries finalised the terms that were discussed in Geneva. According to experts, the deal was done so quickly because America's economic condition is deteriorating at a fast pace, and GDP growth has plunged into negative territory. What Are The Major Points Of The Deal? As per the deal, Beijing will supply rare earth minerals to the US, essential for several sectors such as jet engines, wind turbines and electronics. In return, America agreed to remove all the trade restrictions, including all taxes. Notably, the US imposed trade tariffs on China before the London talks. US Trade Agreement America is planning to finalising trade agreements with as many as 10 major countries. These deals will be done before the reimposition of high tariffs. The deadline is July 9. A wave of happiness swept through global markets, as Asian stock markets and European futures saw a rise. Global equity index reached a new record, due to trade deal expectations. Who are the other potential trade partners of America and India? Global Markets Welcomed The Decision A wave of happiness has swept through global markets. Asian and European markets opened and remained in the green throughout the day on Friday. Global equity index reached a new record, due to trade deal expectations. Is US Planning Trade Deal With India? A delegation led by Rajesh Agarwal is negotiating the deal in Washington on behalf of the country. Recently, United States President Donald Trump hinted at a 'Big Deal' with India. However, Japan's trade representative Ryosei Akazawa has said that they cannot accept the 25% car tariff proposed by the US. ' We are continuously making serious efforts on the tariff proposals of the US,' Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said during a media briefing. What Complications Does US-China Deal Have? The deal between China and the US is not a comprehensive trade agreement. It means that the deal has several issued in it like – American exporters have a level playing field in the Chinese market. There are still concerns related to fentanyl drug trafficking. Another example is: US has allowed companies to export ethane gas to China, but with a condition that it cannot be exported there without approval. What Will Be The Impact On India? The new US-China trade deal includes steps like the supply of rare earth, reducing tariffs, and agreeing on new terms. It is crucial step towards reducing tensions between the two countries. However, in recent years, when the trade war between US-China was at its peak, India benefited. During the trade war, America had imposed tariffs on several Chinese goods. Following this Indian companies (such as textiles, pharma, engineering) got the opportunity to export their products. Now if America is agreeing on importing goods from China, some of India's export sectors may feel the heat. China Dominates The Supply Of Rare Earth Minerals It is worth noting that the Dragon dominates the rare earth minerals market. These minerals are used in electric vehicles, solar panels, chips and defence equipment. If China resumes the supply of rare earth to America, then India will also get the benefit of stability in prices. The United States is negotiating a potential trade agreement with ten nations, including a possible agreement with India. This agreement could grant India preferential trade access. Easing US-China tensions is boosting global investor confidence, potentially leading to increased foreign portfolio investment and stock market growth in India.
