Gold and Silver prices in India on April 03: Gold prices in India soared to new record highs as US President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on several nations. With rising macro-level uncertainty and investors hedging towards safe-haven assets, the gold price is at a record level.

Donald Trump’s Tariffs
US President Donald Trump imposed a 10% baseline tariff on all imports to the US. He announced a 26% “Discounted Reciprocal Tariff” on India, saying PM Modi is a good friend of mine, but India has 55% tariff for items importing from US.
The tariff imposed by the Trump administration will hit Indian jewellery exporters, said Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director, PNG Jewellers, indicating an increase to 10% of import duty in the US from the current 5.5%. Gadgil said that as far as domestic consumption of gold is concerned, neither is India an importer of gold nor jewellery from the US. “On the contrary, the US imports a lot of goods and commodities from Asia, which will invariably become more expensive now.”
He stated that this policy will affect the entire world, and not just the United States. Thus, reciprocal reactions are awaited and Indian players need to see how this unfolds in the days to come.
