What does a hallmark on gold jewellery consist of?
Gold prices in India declined on Tuesday after US President Donald Trump's assurance that gold would not be subject to tariffs. His statement alleviated concerns regarding a huge increase in the cost of importing the metal, resulting in prices dropping below $3,400 per ounce. In Delhi's local market, gold prices fell by Rs 1,000, bringing the cost to Rs 1,01,520 per 10 grammes, reflecting a sell-off in global markets.Due to geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns, and other factors, gold prices have been rising over the past few months.If you are planning to buy gold amid the recent drop in the yellow metal prices, be sure to choose hallmarked jewellery.

Double-decker flyover: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd yet to get Rs 450cr from state

Bengaluru: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) is yet to receive the Rs 450 crore reimbursement promised by the state govt in 2017-18 for the Yellow Line's double-decker flyover between Ragigudda and Central Silk Board. The design change was approved on the assurance that the govt would bear the cost of the road flyover component. The city's first double-decker flyover — built after demolishing the Jayadeva flyover — took years to complete. In July 2024, BMRCL partially opened the 5km road flyover from Ragigudda to Silk Board, including ramps built around the Silk Board junction, for motorists travelling towards Silk Board. According to sources, BMRCL has repeatedly sought reimbursement, including during high-power committee (HPC) meetings, but funds haven't been released. In Namma Metro projects, the state and central govts share costs, but road components within Metro projects fall under the state's responsibility.

The proposed stretches include Hebbal to JP Nagar 4th Phase along Outer Ring Road and Hosahalli to Kadabagere on Magadi Road. Phase III of Namma Metro is estimated to cost Rs 15,611 crore, with an additional Rs 9,000 crore required for the road flyovers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allocate Rs 8,916 crore for the project. Urban mobility experts argue that road flyovers don't reduce congestion and instead encourage private vehicle use, whereas Metro expansion should be prioritised to strengthen public transport. A source said, "The issue of reimbursement of expenses incurred towards execution of the road flyover as part of the Metro project has been going on for a long time. In the recent meeting, the issue was discussed in the HPC. It was noted that the work has helped ease traffic congestion for vehicles heading towards Silk Board and for those crossing from there towards HSR Layout and Hosur Road. The urban development department will take up the matter with the finance department for reimbursement. " Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Foreign Holdings of Treasuries Climbed to a Record High in June

(Bloomberg) -- Foreign investor holdings of Treasuries climbed to a record high in June, showcasing sustained overseas demand for US government debt even as a slump in the dollar stoked concerns about sentiment toward American assets. Foreign holdings totaled $9.13 trillion for June, up $80.2 billion from May, Treasury Department figures showed Friday. For the first half of the year, foreign holdings went up by $508.1 billion. That was during a period in which one benchmark gauge of the dollar tumbled by almost 11%, the most since 1973. Britain and Belgium saw the biggest gains in holdings, while India — currently embroiled in a trade battle with the Trump administration — and Ireland posted declines. China's stockpile was little changed. Holdings are affected by net sales or purchases along with shifts in valuation. The Bloomberg US Treasury index advanced in June, after a selloff the previous month. Japan, the biggest holder of Treasuries, saw a $12.6 billion rise in its holdings, to $1.15 trillion, while China's stockpile — now the third larges, behind the UK — ticked up $100 million $756.4 billion. Belgium, whose holdings include Chinese custodial accounts according to market analysts, saw its stockpile go up by $17.9 billion, to $433.4 billion. Britain's holdings jumped by $48.7 billion, the most since March 2023, to $858.1 billion. India's total dropped by $7.9 billion, to $227.4 billion. Overseas holdings of Treasuries have been in focus against a backdrop of concern about foreign demand after President Donald Trump slapped tariff increases on the rest of the world. Foreign funds and governments hold over 30% of US Treasuries outstanding. More stories like this are available on
