Shocking Alert: Gold Could Cost Rs. 2.7 Lakh Per Gram by 2030
Currently, the price of gold in India has crossed the Rs. 1 lakh mark. Seeing these rising prices, many people are eager to buy gold. However, the report that gold prices may increase up to three times in the near future is worrying not only the Indian middle class but also the wealthy.
To explain further, Liechtenstein-based investment firm Incrementum has released a report titled "Gold We Trust Report 2025", which predicts how gold prices will behave in the future. The report states that gold prices will increase drastically over the next five years, with the price of an ounce reaching Rs. 7,56,000 by 2030. This means that the price per gram could reach around Rs. 2,70,000.
The report identifies key reasons behind this potential tripling of gold prices within just five years. Rising inflation and global economic uncertainties are cited as the main drivers pushing gold prices to reach $8,900 per ounce. Additionally, central bank policies and international political developments are expected to significantly increase the demand and price of gold over the long term. According to the report, the current rise in gold prices is only the beginning of a long-term upward trend.
The 25 percent increase in gold prices from the start of 2025 to April is causing concern among ordinary Indians. If this trend continues as the report predicts, buying gold may remain a distant dream for many in the coming years. Currently, markets and family offices worldwide invest only about 1 percent of their total portfolios in gold or other precious metals, preferring real estate, private equity, and other investment options instead.
JP Morgan Report
Earlier last week, America's largest banking company, JP Morgan, released its forecast on gold prices, predicting that the price of an ounce will reach $6,000 by 2029. This translates to approximately Rs. 10,80,000 per ounce, representing an increase of nearly 80 percent over current prices. If this prediction comes true, many believe that people may have to settle for gold items made with rolled gold rather than pure gold in the future.

Geojit's Vinod Nair flags ‘cautious outlook' for IT stocks amid market volatility, geopolitical uncertainties
India Inc's Q4 earnings season has outperformed expectations, with broad market PAT rising by 12% YoY. Nifty50 companies reported earnings growth of 6–7%, exceeding the earlier forecast of 0–3%, which is expected to lead to a marginal upgrade in India's EPS forecasts for FY25 and FY26. This strong performance was largely driven by lower input costs and moderating inflation, which improved operational profitability. Performance across sectors was mixed. The metals and mining segment stood out, benefitting from higher QoQ realizations amid global supply chain disruptions. The pharma sector also performed well, supported by increased sales of complex drugs and declining chemical costs. Domestic-facing sectors such as private and public banks and telecom also posted better-than-expected results. However, Auto, IT, and FMCG sectors showed flat to weak earnings growth, impacted by both global and domestic slowdowns. Global headwinds, including slowing demand and geopolitical tensions, have had a nuanced impact on India Inc's performance. However, the recent reduction in global inflation and crude oil prices has helped India lower its input costs, while tariff-related risks have paradoxically boosted sector-specific orders and inquiries. The weakening of the US dollar has also supported Indian markets through fiscal gains and increased FIIs inflows lately. However, further depreciation of the dollar could pose risks to global equity markets. On the rural front, consumption volumes have shown signs of recovery, aided by a strong rabi harvest and easing domestic inflation. In contrast, subdued urban demand has continued to drag on the performance of FMCG and Consumption-linked sectors. Looking ahead, expectations of a favourable monsoon, sustained inflation moderation, and potential income tax relief are expected to stimulate consumption across both rural and urban segments. The IT sector's Q4FY25 results reflected a cautious industry outlook, with hiring slowing due to global uncertainties inand the ongoing transition to new technologies. Q1FY26 has started on a muted note, with subdued global discretionary spending. Nevertheless, the sector remains optimistic, supported by strong order pipelines and strategic initiatives such as AI upskilling and cost optimization. After the recent 2-months rally the sector valuations are slightly above their long-term averages while earnings outlook is subdued. A further revival in the IT stocks momentum is contingent on the stabilization of U.S. interest rates and progress in tariff negotiations. In the banking and NBFC space, the credit cycle has moderated over the past year, their current focus is on managing yield spreads and preserving asset quality. FY25 witnessed asset quality challenges, particularly in the microfinance and personal loan segments, prompting a more cautious stance from lenders. However, recent trends suggest these risks are easing, with asset quality expected to improve through the year. Looking ahead to FY26, the earnings growth outlook has improved slightly, buoyed by better-than-expected Q4 results. If inflation, interest rates, and tariff uncertainties ease, market sentiment could turn more positive. Additionally, cut in taxation and increased government expenditure are expected to further stimulate domestic demand. Currently, projections place India's earnings growth at 10–12% for FY26, up from sub-5% in FY25. Sectors likely to lead this growth include rate-sensitive ones like Banks, NBFCs, Auto, and Realty, driven by anticipated demand increases and reduced operational costs. Domestic consumption is also expected to rise, benefiting FMCG, Consumer Durables, Fertilizers, and the Agri sector. In anticipation of improvement in broad economy, portfolio strategies are shifting, with increased diversification into mid- and small-cap equities. The valuation premium of midcaps over large caps has normalized, and with domestic risks easing and global risks potentially moderating—like BTA finalization—investors are positioning for broader market participation in the coming quarters. Lately, domestic equity indices have remained rangebound with a slight negative bias, in that large-cap stocks are facing greater pressure. This could be primarily due to the lack of support from FIIs due to high volatility in global currency. USD has been depreciating heavily in the last 3 months, even to Asian peers like Japan & India. Additionally, retail investors are on a profit booking mode. After the two months rally India valuation has breached 20x one year forward P/E, 21x is the 3years peak. Some lingering concerns are reciprocal tariff June deadline, India-US trade, US-EC trade and weakening dollar posing as key external risk. India's earnings visibility needs to improve in tandem with the macros and peaking valuation, for which we may have to wait to get a better foresee of the upcoming June quarter, could be a vital stabilizer to the market trend. Despite the better than holistic view tendered by Q4 the market needs to see a solid upside in FY26 earnings, Q1 could be the leading clue.

On Sunday, June 1, Pune Airport set a new record of handling a total 212 flight operations in a single day, outdoing its own previous record of handling 208 flight operations in a single day on January 12 this year. This landmark figure included 106 departures and 106 arrivals, with over 36,000 passengers passing through the airport in a single day as they headed to both domestic and international destinations. Airport director Santosh Dhoke expressed enthusiasm over the development saying, 'The overall flight operations on Sunday were executed smoothly. This is a very positive sign for us, indicating the steady growth of air traffic movement at Pune Airport. It is the highest number of flight movements recorded in a single day in our history, and it reflects the growing connectivity and demand among passengers. With 35 domestic and three international destinations currently linked to Pune - including two flights to Dubai, two to Bangkok, and one to Singapore, the city is becoming a significant aviation hub.' Dhoke emphasised that the operations were conducted efficiently without any major issues or delays, contributing to a seamless travel experience for passengers. 'There was no hassle and no operational constraints, and flight delays were minimal. We are optimistic that this number will continue to rise in the near future, especially as more destinations get connected and the frequency of flights increases,' he said. According to information shared by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) Pune, the flight operations were conducted smoothly throughout the day from the Lohegaon-based Pune Airport. A total of 212 flights operated to and from 35 domestic and three international destinations. Of these, 106 flights arrived in Pune from major cities such as Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, and others, bringing in more than 18,000 passengers. The remaining 106 flights departed to various locations, carrying over 18,000 passengers to their respective destinations in India and abroad. Rohit Varma, an information technology (IT) professional and frequent flyer headed to Bengaluru, said, 'I travel frequently for work, and I've seen how Pune Airport has evolved over the past few years. But what I experienced on Sunday was truly impressive. Despite the large number of flights, the check-in process was smooth, security lines were well managed, and there were no delays. It was surprising to see so many flights operating seamlessly in one day. The addition of more destinations and international connections like Dubai and Singapore is a big plus for business travellers like me. It saves time and eliminates the need to travel to Mumbai for certain flights. Pune is definitely stepping up as a major travel hub.'
