Gold prices surged to fresh record highs on Tuesday as renewed fears of a potential US–EU trade war pushed investors towards safe-haven assets amid rising global uncertainty.The rally followed tariff threats by US President Donald Trump against European nations opposing his Greenland move, triggering risk aversion across global markets. Precious metal extended gains from the previous session, supported by strong international cues and safe-haven demand.On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures delivery rose Rs 1,300, or 1 per cent, to Rs 1,46,988 per 10 grams. Silver futures jumped Rs 7,869, or 2.5 per cent, to Rs 3,19,949 per kg.In international markets, COMEX silver hit a fresh lifetime high of USD 94.74 per troy ounce during Asian trade, while gold hovered near record levels around USD 4,670 per troy ounce. Prices later pared some gains after a sharp rally in the previous session.Market sentiment remains fragile amid fears of another trade standoff between the US and Europe. According to AFP, silver touched USD 94.73, while gold stayed just below its record peak as global risk aversion intensified.Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvi Finmart said precious metals are witnessing high volatility but remain supported. “Silver is expected to hold key support near USD 84 per troy ounce, while gold may sustain support around USD 4,440 on a closing basis,” he said.On MCX, gold support is seen at Rs 1,44,800–Rs 1,44,100, with resistance at Rs 1,46,350–Rs 1,47,000. Silver support lies at Rs 3,03,000–Rs 2,96,600, with resistance at Rs 3,14,000–Rs 3,22,000. Jain said the strategy remains to buy gold and silver on dips, targeting Rs 1,48,000 for gold and Rs 3,22,000 for silver.
