Gold falls Rs 160 to Rs 99,800 per 10 g; silver trades flat
Gold of 99.5 per cent purity depreciated by Rs 150 to Rs 99,100 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes). It had settled at Rs 99,250 per 10 grams in the previous market close. The precious metal of 99.9 per cent purity had closed at Rs 99,960 per 10 grams on Friday. New Delhi, Jun 23 (PTI) Gold price fell by Rs 160 to Rs 99,800 per 10 grams in the national capital on Monday due to continuous selling by jewellers and stockists, according to the All India Sarafa Association. However, silver traded flat at Rs 1,05,200 per kilogram (inclusive of all taxes) on Monday. On the global front, spot gold went lower marginally to USD 3,365.40 per ounce. 'Gold briefly surged to USD 3,413.80 per ounce on Monday but has since pulled back, as investors await Iran's response following US participation in the air strikes on Tehran,' Kaynat Chainwala, AVP-Commodity Research, Kotak Securities, said. Investors will be awaiting key economic events, including Fed Chair Jerome Powell's congressional testimony, US GDP data, and core PCE inflation figures, which could offer fresh clues on monetary policy direction amid a mixed message from the Federal Reserve, Chainwala added. Commodities markets experts said the release of flash PMI data from major economies, including the US and the UK, later in the day, is expected to offer fresh cues on the state of global economic health. According to Emkay Global Financial Services' Research Analyst – Commodities and Currency Riya Singh, domestic prices of gold have risen 4 per cent so far in June, although trading at a growing discount to global rates owing to weak jewellery demand. Despite muted festive buying, investment demand for bars and coins, especially 10g coins remains robust, driven by inflation fears, loan-linked monetisation, and lower fabrication costs. RBI's easing of norms for loans against gold has further supported household gold monetisation, she added. PTI HG HG ANU ANU This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Yield on AAA-rated PSU bonds breaches 7% as long-term rates firm up
Yields on 10-year AAA-rated public sector undertaking (PSU) bonds in India's corporate bond primary market exceeded the 7 per cent threshold on Monday, after a gap of three months, as long-term rates continue to rise. Notably, REC Limited raised ₹2,865 crore through 10-year bonds at a coupon rate of 7.06 per cent. Additionally, the company secured ₹4,000 crore via 2-year bonds at a 6.60 per cent coupon rate. 'REC's 10-year issuance today saw a cut-off of 7.06 per cent confirming the firming yield trend. Despite the upward movement, limited fresh supply of 10-year bonds and sustained investor demand in REC bond have helped keep the coupon levels orderly,' said Venkatakrishnan Srinivasan, founder and managing partner of Rockfort Fincap LLP. Meanwhile, the yield on short term bonds -- particularly up to the 5-year segment -- have been witnessing strong demand post monetary policy review outcome earlier this month. These instruments are typically bought for interest income rather than capital gains. A combination of monetary policy easing, abundant liquidity infusion in the system, and Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in the recent monetary policy review weighed on the short term bond yields, said dealers. 'There is demand for short term bonds after the policy, but the rates on papers of tenure 10 year and above are rising, and they are expected to harden further. The 10-year government bond yield touched 6.40 per cent today (Monday), which eventually reflects in the corporate bond primary market,' said a dealer at a state-owned bank. The yield spread between 3-year government bond and benchmark 10-year bond has increased by more than three-fold to 48 basis points, against 15 bps at the start of the financial year, whereas, in the current calendar year the yield spread has widened by twelve times. Since January, the RBI has injected ₹9.5 trillion of durable liquidity into the banking system. This infusion helped shift liquidity conditions from a sustained deficit since mid-December to a surplus by end of March. The transition was reflected in the muted demand for daily VRR auctions and elevated SDF balances, which averaged ₹2.0 trillion during April–May. Of the total liquidity injection, ₹5.2 trillion came through open market purchases (including secondary market purchases), while long term VRR auctions and USD/INR buy-sell swaps added ₹2.1 trillion and ₹2.2 trillion, respectively. The net liquidity in the banking system was in a surplus of ₹2.41 trillion as of Sunday, latest data by the RBI showed. The domestic rate setting panel cut the banks' cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 100 basis points to 3 per cent of their net demand and time liabilities in four tranches starting September. The reduction in CRR is expected to infuse ₹2.5 trillion of primary liquidity in the banking system by the end of November.

PE, VC investments fall sharply to $2.4 billion in May
Funding by private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) entities has fallen sharply in India to USD 2.4 billion in May, a report said on Monday. This is a 68 per cent drop from the USD 7.3 billion recorded in May 2024 and a 53 per cent decline from the USD 5 billion in investments in the preceding month of April, as per the report by industry lobby grouping IVCA and consultancy firm EY. EY partner Vivek Soni said he has a "cautiously optimistic" outlook on the future. There are positive domestic signs like robust GST collections, strengthening of the rupee and rate cuts, he said, hoping for a pickup in activity in the second half of the fiscal if there is an easing of global uncertainties and geopolitical conflicts. A convergence of the "bid-ask spread" between sellers and buyers' valuation expectations is also necessary for the volumes to grow, he said. Live Events By deal volumes, May 2025 witnessed 97 transactions, down 24 per cent on-year from the 128 transactions in May last year and 16 per cent compared with April 2025's 115 deals, the report said. Startup investments accounted for the largest share of PE/VC activity in May 2025, with USD 1.1 billion deployed, which is a 21 per cent increase in value over the USD 871 million in May 2024. From the sectoral perspective, financial services led the way in May 2025 with USD 758 billion across 21 deals, followed by real estate with USD 380 million.
