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)

Tata Motors shares slide over 4 pc amid reports of $4.5 billion Iveco acquisition talks

Following reports that Tata Motors is in advanced negotiations to purchase the truck division of Italy's Iveco Group in a possible $4.5 billion deal, the company's shares experienced significant pressure on Wednesday. They fell by almost 4 per cent in early trading. Tata Motors' stock was down 3.08 per cent from the previous close at Rs 671.85, as of 11:23 A.M. The drop is a result of investor apprehension about the scope and consequences of what might turn out to be the second-largest foreign acquisition for the Tata Group after its $12.9 billion acquisition of Corus Steel in 2007. The talks with Iveco, which is owned by the Agnelli family, are reportedly centred on purchasing its Defence and commercial truck businesses. Iveco has admitted to looking into the possibility of selling its industrial vehicle division, but no firm decision has been made as of yet. However, it has been reported that the deal may receive Board-level approvals as early as today. If completed, the deal would be Tata Motors' largest acquisition since its 2008 $2.3 billion acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover and could greatly increase the company's presence in the global commercial vehicle market. The timing is notable, as Tata Motors is spinning off its commercial vehicle business into a separate entity, a process expected to conclude by December 2025. In India, that division has a 30 per cent market share for light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and a 49 per cent market share for heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs). It generated Rs 75,000 crore in revenue in the previous fiscal year. The foundation of Iveco's industrial operations is its truck business, which generates 70 per cent of total industrial revenue. The company's bus and powertrain divisions each contribute 15 per cent. Iveco maintained an 8–9 per cent presence in the medium and heavy truck segment and a 13.3 per cent share in the European LCV market in 2024.
