Gold prices in India hit an all time high of Rs 8,432 per gram with an increase of Rs 1,322 against Rs 8,310 on Feb 4. Safe haven buying is supporting the prices amidst global uncertainties. As per experts, gold prices have hit an all time high as China has responded to US tariffs which were imposed by President Donald Trump on the world’s largest consumer of gold.
Motilal Oswal (NSE:MOFS) Financial Services Limited said the market views US tariffs as inflationary and potentially boost safe haven demand for bullion which is traditionally seen as a hedge against both price rise and geo-political turmoil.
