Gold prices seen to face a big crash in just two months
Gold prices may have hit their peak and could decline by 12–15 per cent in dollar terms over the next two months, according to Quant Mutual Fund. 'However, our medium-term and long-term views are equally constructive and we reiterate that a meaningful percentage of your portfolio should be dedicated towards precious metals,' it added. A US-based Morningstar analyst has already forecasted a 38 per cent drop in the next few years. On Tuesday, retail gold prices hovered around Rs 96,960 per 10 gm. With a 3 per cent goods and services tax, the price of 10 gm of gold stood at Rs 99,868. Kavita Chacko, research head of India at World Gold Council, said stability in prices could prompt a resurgence in demand in the world's second-largest consumer of the yellow metal. The rise in gold prices is hurting retailers. Gold jewellery sales in India fell 30 per cent to 1,600 kg on average in the past fortnight, according to the India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA), as prices shot up nearly 5 per cent . 'In the first fortnight of May, which was followed by Akshaya Tritiya, there was some momentum as prices started falling, touching Rs 92,365 per 10 gm on May 15. But since then, the price of the yellow metal has again started to move northwards, which has dampened the demand,' said Surendra Mehta, national secretary, IBJA. Gold's recent rally was fueled by economic uncertainty, inflation concerns, and geopolitical tensions. Investors turned to gold as a safe asset, particularly amid ongoing trade disputes initiated during former US President Donald Trump's tenure. However, multiple factors could now drive prices downward. US trade tensions influencing gold markets Trade tensions between the United States and China are keeping investors on edge. Market participants are now watching closely for a possible call this week between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. This comes just days after Trump accused China of violating an agreement to reduce tariffs and trade barriers. In Europe, the European Commission has pushed back, stating it will urge the U.S. to lower or eliminate tariffs. However, the U.S. is still moving ahead with plans to double steel and aluminum tariffs to 50 per cent . According to a draft letter seen by Reuters, Washington is also pressing countries to submit revised trade offers by Wednesday to speed up negotiations before a five-week deadline.

SEBI warns public about scamsters sending forged communications: What investors need to know
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Wednesday has asked investors or public to exercise caution when receiving any communication purportedly issued on its behalf. The word of caution comes after the markets regulator found that some investors had received notices from individuals who falsely claimed to be Sebi officials. These fraudsters have forged Sebi's letterhead, recovery certificates, logo and seal to send communications to individuals with an intention to commit fraud. How are investors being misled? The markets regulator noticed that certain individuals have received communication wherein the sender falsely claims to be an official of Sebi using the market watchdog's letterhead, logo and seal. In certain instances, the sender issued notices through social media platforms asking for payment of fine to prevent Sebi from taking action against the recipient. In other fraudulent cases, the sender forged a sale certificate to show that he was a buyer of Pearl Agro Corporation Ltd (PACL) property. The PACL scam was the biggest in history wherein around 5 crore investors were defrauded of around Rs 50,000 crore by the company. In 2020, a total of 28,974 properties belonging to PACL and its group entities were put on sale in order to repay investors, who had invested their funds in the company. Sebi further said in certain cases, the sender issued a fake certificate of use of a third-party vendor account. What has Sebi told investors? The regulator has urged investors or members of the public to exercise caution. It has urged them to verify the authenticity of any communication that they might deem to have received from Sebi. Investors can confirm about any such communications from Sebi's website.
