Gold Price Today In India, July 3: Yellow Metal Rises On MCX
Last Updated: Gold Prices Today, July 3: In Mumbai, the price of gold stands at Rs 90,660 per 10 grams for 22-carat and Rs 98,900 per 10 grams for 24-carat. Gold Prices In India Today, July 03: Gold prices in India rose on Thursday after US ADP non-farm payroll data showed a surprise contraction of 33,000 jobs and the dollar index fell to a fresh 3.5-year low. In Mumbai, the price of gold stood at Rs 90,660 per 10 grams for 22-carat and Rs 98,900 per 10 grams for 24-carat. Silver, on the other hand, fell by Rs 100 in the morning session to trade at Rs 1,09,900 per kg in Mumbai. However, in the futures market on the MCX, gold futures (expiring on August 5, 2025) were trading marginally higher at Rs 97,455 per 10 gram, up by 0.07%, whereas silver (expiring on September 5, 2025) saw a mild loss of 0.22% to trade at Rs 1,07,286 per kg. Rahul Kalantri, vice-president (commodities) of Mehta Equities, said, 'Gold and silver extended their gains after U.S. ADP non-farm payroll data showed a surprise contraction of 33,000 jobs, against the expected increase of 99,000. The dollar index fell to a fresh 3.5-year low, while US 10-year bond yields dipped to a 2-month low—both supporting precious metal prices." Additionally, concerns over the approaching July 9 US trade tariff deadline lent further support. If a trade deal is not finalized in time, higher tariffs could trigger volatility in global financial markets. Meanwhile, the upcoming US jobs report remains a key event that may offer further direction to bullion prices, he added. International market rates, import duties, taxes, and fluctuations in exchange rates primarily influence gold prices in India. Together, these factors determine the daily gold rates across the country. In India, gold is deeply cultural and financial. It is a preferred investment option and is key to celebrations, particularly weddings and festivals. With constantly changing market conditions, investors and traders monitor fluctuations closely. Staying updated is crucial for effectively navigating dynamic trends.

India to benefit from global manufacturing shift as China+1 strategy gains momentum: Ankur Jhaveri
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel In this edition of ETMarkets Smart Talk, Ankur Jhaveri , MD & CEO of JM Financial Institutional Securities Ltd., highlights how India stands to benefit from the evolving global manufacturing landscape, driven by the China+1 global companies look to diversify supply chains away from China, Jhaveri believes this structural shift presents a multi-year opportunity for also shares insights on key macro risks, sectoral valuations, policy expectations, and why rural consumption and domestic manufacturing are likely to be the twin growth engines in the coming quarters. Edited Excerpts –A) There has been a series of events in June that got investors glued on to emerging geopolitical dynamics. June has certainly been more nervous compared to May and immediate investment strategies seems to be rather said that it's not only geopolitical situation but also an expression of recent earning season that has impacted market volatility. Corporate commentary by large has been cautions, which has forced investors to re-calibrate their earning projects and multiples.A) Global environment continues to remain fluid since the change of US President. Tariffs, Monetary policy reaction, and geopolitical conflicts are driving market sentiments forward unfolding geopolitical events and finalisation of trade deals would be the key monitorable events from the market policy flip flops or further postponement of the tariff deadline would be negative for the US Dollar and hence should attract flows towards Emerging Markets.A) Global manufacturing is undergoing a shift, and the recent policy actions be it fiscal or monetary are all targeted towards benefiting the domestic manufacturing players have been diversifying their manufacturing capacities away from China, although other countries would also benefit from this shift, India too stands to gain. This is a multiyear theme and companies in the manufacturing supply chain will be the in the immediate near term we see that the conditions are aligned in favour of consumption. Easy monetary policy, Favourable weather conditions - onset of La-Nina condition and Fiscal measures like recent Tax exemption would all improve consumption demand in the domestic economy - especially rural.A) Geopolitical conflicts seem to be broadening with every passing day, its impact on crude oil depends on the incremental steps taken by these countries in be specific, the entry of US in the Iran-Israel conflict complicates the issue further, the extent of retaliation by Iran will have serious implications on Crude oil price. Brent crude price is already up 22.9% in June, Iran's decision to block the Strait of Hormuz would further fuel the imports form one fourth of India's total imports and out of 5.5 Mn Barrels per day (bpd) imports of crude oil currently, 2 Mn bpd is sourced through the Strait of its impact could be cushioned meaningfully if crude oil imports are diversified from Russia, which does not use this corridor to supply oil. We believe that proactive monetary and fiscal policies should support growth in the current fiscal, hence 6.5% growth seems achievable which should reflect in corporate earnings as well.A) Banks provide margin of safety on the valuation front, while other sectors appear to be fully priced or trade above the historical valuation should not be the only criteria in an investment decision, considering the global uncertainty in which these businesses are believe bottom up approach would be suitable in current macro environment, companies with decent earnings visibility trading at reasonable valuation would be preferred.A)It is worth highlighting that the comfortable inflation trajectory has allowed the global central banks to ease policy rates. However, it is the tariffs and the related disruption which would decide the inflation path going forward, especially in the US.A) The domestic inflation trajectory is expected to remain comfortable in the near term, which would allow the RBI to focus on growth, the governor indicated that the central bank is targeting a potential growth rate of 8%.Moreover, Governor Malhotra recently hinted that if the inflation outlook turns out to be below RBI's projection, it will open up more room for policy according to us is preparing the markets for more policy easing, however at this juncture we believe that the space for incremental policy easing if any would be restricted to the recent front-loading of rate cuts, we believe that RBI intended to deliver a positive shock to the economy which would eventually fasten the rate transmission, the advance announcement of the CRR cut was to cushion the Banking NIMs to some believe that a pickup in consumption is imminent once global shock settles and impact would be visible with a lag of a quarter or two.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views, and opinions given by experts are their own.
