Lucknow Gold Prices Edge Higher On July 3; Check Details Here

After three consecutive sessions of gains, gold prices saw a slight pullback ahead of key US jobs data and clarity on the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook. Market sentiment was also weighed down by concerns over the US debt situation, tied to former President Donald Trump’s proposed $3 trillion tax and spending plan, dubbed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' Act, and the upcoming tariff deadline on July 9.

In international markets, spot gold dipped 0.4 per cent to $3,345.86 an ounce in Singapore. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index remained flat, down 0.6 per cent for the week. Other precious metals, including silver, palladium, and platinum, also traded lower.

Domestic gold futures edged higher, supported by uncertainty surrounding the US-India trade negotiations and firm demand in spot markets. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold for August 5 delivery was trading 0.06 per cent higher at Rs 97,452 per 10 grams.

Gold Consumption In India 

India ranks as the second-largest gold consumer globally, trailing only China, with the bulk of its demand fulfilled through imports and a smaller portion derived from recycled gold. Because gold is traded internationally in US dollars, any fluctuation in the dollar’s strength tends to have a direct impact on Indian gold prices. Domestically, several factors influence pricing, including import duties, the Goods and Services Tax (GST), and other regional levies.
