Gold rally brings big gains, but sparks calls for caution
Mint Bangalore
|October 01, 2025
Gold's glittering rally may have reached a short-term peak.
After surging more than 50% in the past year, the precious metal is drawing calls for caution from commodity analysts, who say individual investors should book some profits while prospective buyers wait for a pullback.
The run-up-fuelled by central bank purchases, strong retail demand, and tariffdriven geopolitical jitters under US President Donald Trump-has lifted gold to record highs, far outpacing equities and the rupee. But with signs of consolidation emerging, experts warn that the spectacular gains seen in the past year may be behind us. Gold has surged 54% to ₹115,510 per 10 gm in the past year through Monday evening, per Bloomberg, citing the active futures contract traded on commodity derivatives bourse MCX, a proxy for the spot price.

Trump tariffs: What the echoes of Smoot-Hawley tell us
India's bilateral trade with the US reached $132 billion in 2024-25. In just five months of 2025-26, India notched up about half of last year's number. That momentum now faces disruption: Washington currently has a 50% extra tariff on imports of Indian goods after the rate was doubled in late August. The question is not only whether this will benefit the US economy, but also how it will reshape India's trade strategies and the global system.
