Gold trading strategy
Gold's prices have stayed strong and are hovering near the Rs 1 lakh mark in the domestic physical markets (3% GST). In this year so far, the gains have been to the tune of 27%, better than any other asset class. On a month-to-date basis, the gains are nearly 2%."Gold's strength is fueled by the renewed tariff escalation by the US against key trading partners, including Brazil, the EU, Mexico, and Canada, reviving fears of disrupted global trade. Uncertainty over global growth and trade stability has reignited demand for safe havens," Jateen Trivedi, Vice President, Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency at LKP Securities, said. He said that the tariff unpredictability has pushed investors to hedge via precious metals and a rising inflationary outlook due to tariff-led price surges may support gold further.Among domestic factors, rupee movement against the US dollar will hold the key."The rupee has remained volatile due to uncertainty around India-US trade relations and overall global tariff impact. Fluctuations in USDINR are adding a mild premium to MCX Gold ," he added.Gold has shown a constructive structure after bouncing from the Rs 96,000 – Rs 96,200 support zone. The price has managed to sustain above Rs 97,500 this week and is attempting a move past the consolidation band.-- Near-term support: Rs 97,200 – Rs 97,500-- Strong base support: Rs 96,000 on closing basis-- Immediate resistance: Rs 98,400-- Breakout zone: Rs 99,300 – Rs 99,500-- Next trend extension target: Rs 101,000A close above ₹98,400 will likely trigger bullish continuation toward ₹99,500+. Breakdown below Rs 96,000 (closing basis) will negate this bullish bias.RSI has recovered above 50, suggesting a shift in momentum. A sustained move above 55 will confirm bullish intent. The current level indicates buyers are gradually regaining control, with upside potential remaining.Bands are narrow, indicating a volatility squeeze – a classic sign of an upcoming directional move. Price is currently riding the mid-band and nudging higher, hinting toward a potential breakout if Rs 98,400 is crossed.--EMA 8 (Red): Rs 97,800-- EMA 21 (Yellow): Rs 97,600Gold is now trading above both short-term EMAs, which are acting as dynamic support zones. A clean close above these averages sustains the buy-on-dips strategy. Flattening EMAs reflect ongoing consolidation, but bias remains upward.While the MACD lines are converging, the histogram has shown early signs of reversal from bearish to neutral. A bullish crossover in the coming sessions will confirm further price strength.Buy-on-Dips | Buy Zone: Rs 96,500 – Rs 96,800 | Stop Loss: Rs 95,400Targets:Target 1: Rs 97,800Target 2: Rs 98,500Target 3: Rs 99,500 (in case of breakout)

India-US trade deal: What's holding back the agreement and risks of further delays? Explained
India-US trade deal: The Indian stock market is navigating rough terrain, in contrast to Western markets, particularly the US, which is hitting record highs as progress on trade deals with major partners has eased earlier investor concerns about rising inflation and its potential spillover effects on the world's largest economy. As the US signed trade deals with major economies, with the latest being Japan and the Philippines after inking deals with Indonesia and Vietnam, which are key economies in the Asia region, the discussion with India is still ongoing. Despite multiple rounds of negotiations, an official announcement continues to be delayed. Earlier, the potential deal was expected to be announced before July 09, after the White House and Trump himself stated that an agreement with India would be finalized. However, the White House is reportedly demanding greater access for agriculture, dairy, and genetically modified (GM) products, which is delaying the signing of the deal, a demand New Delhi is reportedly denying in order to protect farmers. In addition, India is seeking tariff rates lower than those granted to other Asian nations that have already signed deals with the US, in a bid to gain a competitive edge. Meanwhile, the delay in concluding the deal is also dampening sentiment in the Indian stock market, with investors awaiting full clarity before the next leg of the rally, resulting in frontline indices trading in a tight range for most of July. According to Harshal Dasani, Business Head at INVasset, markets are currently grappling with three simultaneous overhangs—uncertain US trade policy, relentless FII selling, and uninspiring Q1 earnings. While the US recently signed a trade deal with the Philippines, talks with India remain stuck. Dasani highlights Washington's dual stance: on one hand, it's pursuing selective trade alignments; on the other, it's threatening up to 500% tariffs on countries trading with Russia. This, he explains, puts India in a complex position, facing scrutiny for importing discounted Russian oil while still being courted for strategic cooperation. "But Washington cannot afford to alienate both India and China. The longer it delays a decisive stance, the closer India, China, and Russia move, which could be a geopolitical nightmare for the US. Meanwhile, markets dislike ambiguity. Investors are pricing in volatility not because of bad news, but due to the absence of clear direction," said Dasani. Dasani further adds that a tariff hike below 20% on Indian goods might even be digested positively by the markets, while anything higher could trigger a knee-jerk reaction. The Street is well aware the US cannot sustain such elevated tariffs without inviting domestic backlash or triggering inflationary pressure. He also points out that FIIs have already pulled out over ₹ 22,185 crore in July alone, a move driven largely by a strengthening dollar and elevated US bond yields, adding to the pressure on Indian equities. Q1 earnings, he says, have been mixed, with autos and banks under pressure while healthcare and capital goods have shown resilience. In this environment, positioning in domestic, policy-linked themes like defense, railways, and power, along with selective accumulation in small caps, remains the best course. Clarity—not comfort—will drive the next leg, he stated. Sankhanath Bandyopadhyay, Economist at Infomerics Valuation and Ratings, said, "The delay in finalising a US-India trade deal underscores the complexity of balancing economic pragmatism with domestic sensitivities. For India, agriculture and dairy aren't just trade sectors; they are the backbone of rural livelihoods, impacting over 700 million people." Meanwhile, the US is pushing hard for access to India's high-tariff markets, especially in the agri- and digital sectors, while raising tariffs on Indian steel, aluminum, and auto exports. Unlike recent US trade partners like the UK or Vietnam, Sankhanath pointed out that India is not willing to concede on politically critical sectors and is instead negotiating from a position of strategic autonomy. However, he cautioned that prolonged delays in concluding the deal could carry risks, which include lost export competitiveness, retaliatory tariffs, and a dent in the broader U.S.-India strategic alignment, including tech and defense cooperation.
