New Delhi, Jun 16 (PTI) Gold prices fell Rs 170 to Rs 1,01,370 per 10 grams in the national capital on Monday amid weak global trends, according to the All India Sarafa Association.
Additionally, silver prices declined by Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,07,100 per kilogram (inclusive of all taxes) on Monday. The white metal had ended at Rs 1,08,100 per kg on Friday.
In the futures trade, the most traded August contract for gold was trading lower at Rs 99,918 per 10 grams, down by Rs 358 on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX).
'Gold traded in a narrow range near Rs 99,800, as profit booking was witnessed following reports of multiple potential trade deals between India-US, India-China, and US-Euro zones.
'This moderation in safe-haven demand led to a mild correction in gold in the international markets as well,' Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst – Commodity and Currency at LKP Securities, said.
Meanwhile, the precious metal climbed Rs 802 to hit a lifetime high of Rs 1,01,078 per 10 grams in the morning session on the MCX.
Globally, spot gold fell by USD 13.23 per ounce to trade at USD 3,419.41 per ounce.
'Gold prices corrected slightly but continue to hover near record highs as escalating tensions between Israel and Iran drive investors toward safe-haven assets,' Abans Financial Services' Chief Executive Officer Chintan Mehta said.
Traders believe continued uncertainty in the Middle East will keep bullion prices well-supported, Mehta said.
According to Kaynat Chainwala, AVP-Commodity Research, Kotak Securities, investors this week will look forward to a host of central bank monetary policy decisions, including US Federal Reserve's meeting on Wednesday.
The central bank's economic projections will provide further guidance on the potential interest rate cuts in the months ahead, Chainwala said. PTI HG HVA

Jainik Power and Cables set to debut on NSE SME. GMP flat ahead of listing
Jainik Power and Cables is all set to list its shares on the NSE SME platform today following the successful completion of its Rs 51.3 crore IPO. The issue, which was entirely a fresh equity sale of 46.63 lakh shares and priced at Rs 110 per share, closed with a modest subscription of 1.54 times. Ahead of listing, the grey market premium (GMP) for Jainik Power and Cables IPO remains flat at Rs 0, indicating muted near-term sentiment among investors. With no premium currently visible in the unofficial market, the estimated listing price is likely to hover around the issue price of Rs 110, reflecting little to no gain on debut. The retail category showed relatively stronger traction, getting subscribed 2.08 times, while the non-institutional investor (NII) portion was booked 1.13 times. The qualified institutional buyer (QIB) segment saw marginal interest with a subscription of 1.01 times. Founded in May 2011, Jainik Power and Cables was previously engaged in trading aluminium rods and ventured into manufacturing only in 2023. Its core product line now includes aluminium wire rods, which are produced at its ISO-certified facility in Sonipat, Haryana. The company caters to industrial clients across Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. Financially, Jainik Power and Cables reported a 4% increase in revenue and an 84% jump in profit after tax for FY25. Revenue stood at Rs 352.38 crore, while PAT rose to Rs 9.24 crore. Jainik intends to use the IPO proceeds to meet working capital requirements, set up a new manufacturing plant, repay certain loans, and fund general corporate purposes.
