Gold price crashes today: Analysts predict Gold rates projection

Time of India12 hours ago
Gold prices crashed to a near-one-week low on Monday. Spot gold was down today 0.9 per cent at $3,303.93 per ounce and US gold futures shed 0.9 per cent to $3,313.10. The dollar rose 0.2 per cent against its rivals, making gold more expensive for other currency holders. Investors now await details on the trade front ahead of US President Donald Trump's tariff negotiation deadline.
There is a slight pullback due to short-term positive dollar and maybe that's just due to the fact that the economic data coming from the US is still pretty strong, taking away the immediate need to cut rates, said WisdomTree commodities strategist Nitesh Shah.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is close to finalising several trade agreements in the coming days and will notify other countries of higher tariff rates by July 9, Trump said on Sunday. The higher rates are scheduled to take effect on August 1. President Trump in April announced a 10 per cent base tariff on most countries and higher "reciprocal" rates of up to 50 per cent, with an original deadline of this Wednesday. President Trump also threatened an extra 10 per cent tariff on countries aligning themselves with what he called the anti-American policies of the BRICS group of developing nations.
The 90-day period of lower tariffs is expiring and there have not been any fantastic trade deals, which does point towards net trade contracting during the course of this year, which is not supportive for the economy and more likely to be a support for gold, Shah said.

Gold Price Outlook
Last week, data showed U.S. job growth was unexpectedly solid in June. Also, concerns about tariff-driven inflation have led to expectations of slower Federal Reserve rate cuts. Minutes from the Fed's last meeting due later this week could shed more light on the U.S. central bank's rate cut path.
Elsewhere, spot silver fell 1.9 per cent to $36.22 per ounce, platinum fell 2.4 per cent to $1,358.17 and palladium lost 1.7 per cent to $1,115.38.

Express View: For India, is BRICS worth it?

The 2025 BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ended over the weekend with a wide-ranging declaration on global and regional issues. But few outside the hapless desk officers in various foreign offices around the world and policy wonks in think tanks would want to pore over the 126-paragraph, 47-page, over-16,000-word declaration. With such familiar phrases as 'multipolar world', 'Global South', 'inclusive', 'sustainable' and 'global governance', it will certainly impress the enthusiasts who see BRICS as a powerful instrument to upend the global order. Many in the West do fear BRICS for the same reason. There is no reason to believe that US President Donald Trump would have had the time to read the long declaration, but he has repeated his earlier claim that BRICS is 'anti-American' and threatened to impose additional tariffs on members of the forum. But the hopes and fears of BRICS engineering a global transformation are misplaced. For, the forum is riddled with several contradictions of its own and its grasp has always been larger than its reach. As irony would have it, if anyone is trying to build a 'post-American order', it is Trump. In less than six months, he has overturned many traditional assumptions about US global policies and is seeking to radically overhaul the international system that Washington built after World War II and that was modified by it at the turn of the 1990s. Consider, for example, the BRICS talk about reforming the Bretton Woods system; Trump is doing precisely that by pressing for change at the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The BRICS call to save the World Trade Organisation is a sad (and hypocritical) cry in the wilderness with Trump well on his way to demolishing the rule-maker for world commerce. Even more damaging is that leading members of BRICS have been queuing up in Washington to negotiate bilateral deals with Trump holding a gun to their heads. They are not saving the WTO but protecting their own national trade with America by looking for bilateral deals. China has cut a limited deal. Vietnam, another communist country, announced a trade deal of its own. India hopes that its intensive trade negotiations with Trump's Washington in the past few months will bear fruit this week. Equally far-fetched is the idea that members of BRICS can submerge their bilateral differences to collectively blunt American dominance. For India, the economic and security challenges presented by China are much bigger than those posed by American hegemony. Two BRICS states — Saudi Arabia and the UAE — are as worried as Israel and the US about the nuclear weapons programme of a third member, Iran. But here is the rub. Trump's actions to overhaul the global economic, financial, and security order have produced great global churn. The Rio declaration has no answers, only hot air, in response to the Trump challenge. The circumstances that persuaded India to found BRICS and promote it for three decades are no longer present. Yet the political groupthink in Delhi is so entrenched that no questions are asked about the virtue of India investing so much political and diplomatic capital in a forum that does little to serve the country's current interests. With India taking over the chair of BRICS, the time to ask those questions is now.

Trump says Elon Musk is 'off the rails' with his third-party effort

President Trump assailed on Sunday night, describing him as "off the rails" after Musk said he was creating a new political party amid an ongoing rift with the president. "I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely 'off the rails,' essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks," Trump wrote on Truth Social. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States. " Musk's effort to create a new political party - the America Party - is the latest rupture in his ties with Trump. Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to support Trump's presidential campaign, and Trump rewarded him with a wide-ranging position overseeing drastic cuts to govt staffing and contracts. Their bond crumbled in a public spectacle last month, as Trump pushed his domestic policy bill through Congress. Musk panned the legislation as a "disgusting abomination." "Backing a candidate for president is not out of the question, but the focus for the next 12 months is on the House and the Senate," Musk wrote on X on Sunday. Trump has also threatened to cut billions of dollars in federal contracts and tax subsidies for Musk's companies. Trump said Musk had opposed the legislation because it eliminated tax credits for EVs, which would have been a boon for Tesla, one of Musk's companies. "I have campaigned on this for two years and, quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total and unquestioned Endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV Mandate - It was in every speech I made, and in every conversation I had," Trump wrote in his post. "He said he had no problems with that - I was very surprised!" Trump also said Musk was furious that he had pulled the nomination of Jared Isaacman, who has twice launched to orbit in a SpaceX vehicle and is a close friend of Musk's, to run Nasa. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Trump withdrew the nomination after a White House official highlighted Isaacman had previously donated to prominent Democrats. Trump, who also has not walled off his or his family's business interests from govt, added: "I also thought it inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon, who was in the space business, run Nasa, when Nasa is such a big part of Elon's corporate life." Treasury secretary Scott Bessent said goals of Musk's past government cost-cutting effort were popular, but the billionaire himself was not.

'Stopped A Very Big War': Donald Trump Again Claims India-Pakistan Mediation Over Trade Deal

Last Updated: Donald Trump again claimed he prevented the war between India and Pakistan by threatening to suspend trade deals with both nations. Donald Trump has again claimed he mediated between India and Pakistan and stopped the war between the two countries through a trade deal. While speaking to reporters as he hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday (local time), the US President claimed he told India and Pakistan he would not deal for trade with the countries if the war was not stopped. 'We stopped a lot of fights, I think a very big one frankly. A very, very big one was India and Pakistan, and we stopped that over trade," Trump said. 'We are dealing with India, we're dealing with Pakistan. We said that we are not going to be dealing with you at all if you are gonna fight. They were maybe at a nuclear stage, they both, you know, nuclear powers. And I think stopping that was really important," he added.
