Gold and silver price prediction: MCX Gold and MCX Silver have been volatile in the last few days with geopolitical events and Donald Trump's tariff related developments weighing on investor sentiment.
While gold is traditionally a safe haven asset, it has fallen from its peak in the last few sessions. What is the outlook for gold and silver today and for the next few days? What are the target levels investors should look at?
Abhilash Koikkara, Head - Forex & Commodities, Nuvama Professional Clients Group shares his views:
MCX Gold Outlook
MCX Gold has shown a bullish breakout from the lower end of its support zone, indicating a shift in sentiment and the potential for upward momentum.
This breakout suggests that the recent downside pressure has likely been absorbed, and the bulls are regaining control. The key resistance is placed at the 95,700 level, and a decisive move above this mark will likely trigger further upside, pushing prices toward the 98,000 level in the near term.
On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has reversed direction from the neutral 50 level and is now trending upward toward the overbought zone.
This shift in RSI reflects strengthening momentum and supports the bullish outlook for prices.
From a technical standpoint, the trend appears constructive, and as long as prices sustain above the support zone of 94,100, the bias remains positive. The formation of higher lows, along with improving momentum indicators, reinforces the possibility of continued gains.
In conclusion, MCX Gold is well-positioned for further upside.
With support at 94,100 and resistance at 95,700 expected to be breached, the next potential target lies at 98,000. Traders may consider a bullish stance as long as the price holds above key support levels.
CMP: Rs 95,500Target: Rs 98,000SL: Rs 94,100
MCX Silver Outlook
The daily chart analysis indicates that MCX Silver prices have successfully broken above the consolidation range of 97,500–94,000, signalling a bullish breakout and opening positive potential.
With this breakout, there is a possibility for silver prices to extend their upward movement and test the previous swing high at the 1,02,000 level.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI), which was previously hovering around the neutral zone (50), has begun to rise, suggesting increasing bullish momentum. The RSI is on its way toward the overbought zone (70), indicating that there is sufficient room for further price appreciation in the near term.
Based on Fibonacci analysis, the 61.8% projection from the range of 86,260 to 98,800, coupled with the support zone at 93,700, suggests a potential target for silver prices around the 101,800 level.
Given the current market conditions, we are optimistic about Silver's short-term prospects. Prices are expected to move towards 101,800 with stop loss at the 95,600 level. At the current market price (CMP) of 97,750, the outlook remains positive, and a rally could materialize as the price continues its upward momentum post-consolidation.
CMP: Rs 97,750Target 10,18,00SL: Rs 95,600

Trump tariff hike threatens to impact $5 billion engineering goods exports: EEPC India
New Delhi: The proposed 50% tariff on all foreign steel and aluminium by US President Donald Trump could hurt India's engineering exports, as these metals and their derivatives account for nearly a quarter of the country's total engineering goods shipments to the US. The annual export of steel, aluminium and their derivatives to the US currently stand at around $5 billion. The 25% tariffs imposed by the US on steel imports (as per the proclamation order dated on 18th March 2025) have created a challenging environment for Indian steel exporters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo Although India's direct steel exports to the US are relatively low, the tariffs have led to increased global competition and price pressures. The tariffs have also resulted in a shift in trade flows. 'In case the US goes ahead with its plan and impose a 50% tariff on steel, aluminium and their derivatives, exports of these key items will become costlier leading to a likely dip in shipments," said Pankaj Chadha, Chairman, EEPC India, in a statement. Live Events Chadha highlighted that the UK through its trade deal with the US recently got exemptions from 25% tariff on steel and aluminium and suggested that India should also ask for the same kind of waiver during the ongoing bilateral trade agreement (BTA) negotiations with the US. "This is perhaps not the opportune time to introduce such unilateral tariff especially when BTA negotiations are going on. It can make the work of the negotiators tricky. The proposed tariff increase by the Trump administration is likely to impact the engineering exports which are about $5 billion under this head," the EEPC India Chairman said.

Sensex dips 800 pts, Nifty below 24,600 as latest tariff hikes jolt markets
Why stock markets fell today: Indian benchmark indices plunged after the opening bells, taking cues from a decline in their Asian peers amid fresh tariffs from the US. The BSE Sensex index plunged 796 points or 0.98 per cent in the intraday trade to hit a low of 80,654 during the day. The NSE Nifty50 fell 224 points, or 0.91 per cent, to 24,526. The indices registered their worst fall since May 27 this year. The broader market indices continued to outperform the benchmarks. The Nifty MidCap was 0.08 per cent up while the Nifty SmallCap index was 0.01 per cent lower, respectively. Except for Nifty Realty, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and PSU Banks, all sectors were trading lower on Monday, led by information technology (IT) and metal. Furthermore, the market breadth remained skewed in favour of sellers. About 1,336 stocks rose, 1,779 declined, while 187 remained unchanged on the BSE. The market structure favours the continuation of the ongoing consolidation phase and global headwinds like renewed tariff concerns that will restrain a breakout rally, according to VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments. Key reasons behind the Sensex, Nifty fall today: Asian markets decline: Most equity benchmarks in Asia traded lower on Monday as trade tensions flared up over the weekend, with US President Donald Trump announcing additional tariffs on steel and aluminium to 50 per cent from 25 per cent. Later, the European Commission said on Saturday that Europe was prepared to retaliate against President Donald Trump's plan to double tariffs on imported steel and aluminium. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei was down 1.5 per cent while Hang Seng plunged over 2 per cent on Monday. All major equity benchmarks were in red with South Korea and Australia's index down 0.5 per cent. S&P 500 futures eased 0.2 per cent and Nasdaq futures lost 0.3 per cent. President Trump's 50 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminium are a clear message that the tariff and trade scenario will continue to be uncertain and turbulent, Vijayakumar said, impacting markets on Monday. Stock market volatility continues as China has now accused the US of violating its recent trade deal and stated that it will take measures to defend its interests. However, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he's confident the latest trade clash between Trump and Xi Jinping 'will be ironed out' in a call shortly. IT, Metal stocks plunge: The losses in the domestic markets were led by IT and metal stocks as the latest trade tensions keep investors on edge. The tech stocks fell on Monday as tariff threats continue to weigh on the US economy. The gauge for tech stocks -- Nifty IT -- fell as much as 1.5 per cent during the session, with Mphasis, Persistent Systems and HCL Technologies leading the decline. Meanwhile, in the metal space, Welspun Corp, Vedanta and JSW Steel were among the top losers as Trump's steel and aluminium will become June 4, Wednesday. The Nifty Metal index was the top sectoral loser, falling as much as 1.6 per cent on Monday. Shares of Tata Steel, Hindalco and NMDC were trading with a loss of nearly 1 per cent. Key levels to watch: If the market breaches the 24,650 level, it could shift sentiment, leading to a retest of levels around 24,450, according to Shrikant Chouhan, head of equity research at Kotak Securities. However, a break of 24,450 could trigger the market may fall to 23,900 levels, Chouhan said, adding that the strategy should be to design a trading strategy with minimal stop losses.

US remittance tax to revive hawala, hand cartels a financial lifeline
Hidden on page 1,054 of President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' is a threat to impose a 3.5 per cent tax on all remittance transfers made by non-citizens to accounts outside the country. This is a dangerous, backward-looking provision, and will make Americans less safe without raising much revenue. It is easy to understand why a measure like this would appeal to the current administration. It makes migrants' lives harder, and that's enough for it to be worth passing into law. And it certainly will create difficulties for millions of legal and illegal immigrants in the US, as well as for their families outside. Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has been a vocal opponent, saying — correctly — that this is unjustifiable double taxation. Her country, the largest destination for such transfers, has a lot to lose. But other countries are also worried. India is the third-largest destination for remittances from the US, receiving about $18 billion in 2024; the Philippines and China aren't far behind, at $14 billion each. According to Capital Economics, US-based remittances support 3 per cent of the Philippines' GDP. The impact on migration-dependent areas of the world will be severe. For some countries in Central America, national income might fall by almost 1 per cent if this proposal is implemented. Meanwhile, some estimates suggest that even a higher 5 per cent rate would only increase the US' takings by 0.1 per cent. For the remittance tax's backers, that's beside the point. Vice President JD Vance, when he was still a senator, introduced a similar bill. At that time, he said that 'this legislation is a common-sense solution to disincentivise illegal immigration and reduce the cartels' financial power.' That argument is exactly backward. What common sense actually tells you is that if less money is available in some of the poorest parts of Central America, it increases the incentives for people there to try and move to the US to join their family members already there. As for the impact on criminal networks — well, history suggests that they'll welcome this. The world has spent decades trying to make legal transfers cheap and efficient. An additional levy might increase the cost of transferring even small sums four fold. This would reverse all our efforts to force this trade above ground. If legal transfers are made too expensive, illegal and informal networks take their place. Some people have happily assumed that Bitcoin will fill the gap. But, more likely, there will be a renaissance in simpler, older mechanisms for international transfers. In South and West Asia, we call these methods 'hawala.' But other parts of the world derived equivalents independently. In China, for example, such mechanisms are called 'fei-ch'ien.' From a customer's point of view, they're simple to use. All you need to do is find a well-networked trader and give them the cash to be transferred. That person then calls somebody in their clan or village back home, who gives the same amount of cash to the chosen recipient. The two members of the hawala network settle accounts between each other once or twice a year, through smuggling or perhaps through false invoices and shell companies. Naturally, such informal mechanisms to transfer value can be used not just to evade the remittance excise, but taxes in general. Worse, they are frequently used as conduits for terrorism and drug financing — which is why governments have spent decades trying to stamp them out. This was hard because, if enough people use these systems, they can be more efficient and cheaper than formal finance. The exchange rates that hawala traders offer are often more attractive, and their fees take less of a bite out of small transactions than many banks do. In spite of the best efforts of regulators and cops, hawala networks only really shrank when other routes became more competitive. Informal currency traders need a large volume of transactions to be efficient and offer the best rates to their customers, so when their custom shrank, they became less attractive. It's this self-reinforcing loop that the remittance tax threatens to break. Suddenly, hawala networks — and their equivalents in South and Central America — will become appealing again. And when this method returns to its former prominence, it will become easier to pay those who smuggle opiates or people. And, of course, criminal syndicates of various types will once again step in to run these systems, and profit accordingly. The vice president is, not for the first time, wrong: His administration's remittance tax doesn't attack the cartels, it empowers them.
