Gold Hits All-Time High in 2025: Gold prices in India reached ₹93,940 per 10 grams in April 2025 due to trade tensions, dollar weakness, and expectations of US interest rate cuts. Experts predict the rally could continue.
One of the major reasons for this rise is the ongoing trade war between the United States and China. While the US paused tariffs for 90 days on some countries, it increased tariffs on Chinese goods to 125%. In response, China raised tariffs on US goods to the same level. These tensions have created economic uncertainty, which often boosts demand for gold—a traditional safe-haven asset.
Another reason behind the rally is the weakening US dollar. The US Dollar Index fell below 100 and ended at 99.78. Since gold is priced in US dollars, a weaker dollar makes gold cheaper in other currencies, increasing global demand.
Experts also believe the US Federal Reserve might cut interest rates if the economy slows down. Lower interest rates make gold more attractive as it doesn’t pay interest, making it a safer investment during economic instability.
On the global front, Comex Gold also touched a record high of $3,263 per troy ounce before closing slightly lower. This global momentum has supported Indian gold prices as well.
Analysts expect gold prices to keep rising. HDFC Securities predicts international gold may reach $3,500 per ounce, and Indian prices could hit ₹97,000 per 10 grams by the end of 2025. LKP Securities added that gold is likely to face resistance near ₹95,000, with ₹92,000 acting as support.
With trade tensions and global uncertainties still active, many investors may continue turning to gold for safety.
