Gold surges Rs 950 to Rs 97,500/10 g amid firm global cues
New Delhi: Gold price rallied by Rs 950 to Rs 97,500 per 10 gram in the national capital on Tuesday amid firm trend in overseas markets, according to the All India Sarafa Association. The precious metal of 99.5 per cent purity jumped Rs 1,000 to Rs 97,100 per 10 gram.
On Monday, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent fell sharply by Rs 3,400 each to Rs 96,550 and Rs 96,100 per 10 grams, respectively.
Meanwhile, silver depreciated Rs 250 to Rs 99,450 per kg against the previous close of Rs 99,700 per kg.
'Gold prices have risen again after a sharp correction, as safe-haven demand eased following a pause in the US-China trade war,' Abans Financial Services' Chief Executive Officer Chintan Mehta said.
The US agreed to cut tariffs on Chinese imports to 30 per cent from 145 per cent, while China reduced duties on US goods to 10 per cent from 125 per cent.
This tariff relief brought some calm to global markets, leading to a rally in equities and a pullback in gold over the past two days, Mehta added.
Globally, spot gold quoted higher at USD 3,253.38 per ounce.
'Gold fell over 3 per cent on Monday, lowest closing in nearly two weeks. However, the metal rebounded slightly on Tuesday, edging above USD 3,240 per ounce,' Kaynat Chainwala, AVP of Commodity Research at Kotak Securities, said.

The safe-haven demand emerged amid reports of Israeli airstrikes on Houthi rebel positions in Yemen, she said.
Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst – Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities said market participants are closely awaiting the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data later in the day.
The inflation print could influence the US Federal Reserve's interest rate outlook and, in turn, affect gold's trajectory, Trivedi added.

China's Downward Price Pressures Deepened in May
China's downward price pressures deepened in May, with factory-gate prices falling at the fastest pace in more than a year amid looming trade uncertainties. China's producer-price index dropped 3.3% from a year earlier, widening from April's 2.7% decline and keeping the gauge in negative territory for more than two years, data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed Monday.

China's factory-gate deflation worst in 22 months as economic headwinds mount
BEIJING (Reuters) -China's producer deflation deepened to its worst level in almost two years in May while consumer prices extended declines, as the economy grappled with headwinds from trade tensions and a prolonged housing downturn. Uncertainties from a tariff war with the United States and weak consumption at home have rattled sentiment and fuelled expectations of more policy stimulus to combat deflationary pressures. The producer price index fell 3.3% in May from a year earlier, worse than a 2.7% decline in April and the deepest contraction in 22 months, National Bureau of Statistics data showed on Monday. That compared with an estimated 3.2% fall in a Reuters poll. Cooling factory activity highlights the impact of U.S. tariffs on the world's largest manufacturing hub, dampening faster services growth as suspense lingers over the outcome of U.S.-China trade talks set to resume in London on Monday. In a phone call on Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping discussed trade tensions and critical minerals, leaving key issues for further negotiations. The consumer price index dipped 0.1% last month from a year earlier, after falling by the same amount in April and slightly better than a Reuters poll forecast of a 0.2% decline. CPI slid 0.2% on a monthly basis, compared with a 0.1% increase in April, and matched economists' predictions of a 0.2% decline. Retail sales growth slowed last month as spending continued to lag amid job insecurity and stagnant new home prices despite a recent raft of support measures. With households cautious about spending due to income pressures, some companies have resorted to price discounts to boost sales, prompting the authorities to urge an end to the auto industry's bruising price wars. The core inflation measure, excluding volatile food and fuel prices, registered a 0.6% year-on-year rise, slightly faster than a 0.5% increase in April

China Says Some Rare Earths Exports Approved Ahead of Trade Talks With US
