Gold rates in India witnessed strong buying sentiment on February 2, 2026, after India and the US announced a major trade deal. US President Donald Trump has trimmed tariffs to 18% from the previously imposed 50%. MCX gold surged to reclaim above Rs 1.53 lakh mark, and MCX silver climbed near the Rs 2.7 lakh level. Both gold and silver rallied by over 6% to 15%.
The performance tracked bullish sentiments in global cues. Spot gold has jumped nearly 5%, and spot silver has zoomed over 11%.
Effective immediately, Trump announced that US will reduce reciprocal tariffs from 25% to 18%. This will eventually lead to scrap the additional 25% tariffs that was imposed in August last year.
By mid-2025, US tariffs on Indian exports reached 50% which was a combination of 10% baseline, 15% reciprocal making 25% plus additional 25% punitive duty imposed with effect from August 27, 2025.
US is looking forward to make more cuts in tariffs till they reach to zero levels. Trump said, "we agreed to a Trade Deal between the United States and India, whereby the United States will charge a reduced Reciprocal Tariff, lowering it from 25% to 18%. They will likewise move forward to reduce their Tariffs and Non Tariff Barriers against the United States, to ZERO."
This is a major good news in economic perspective, but global trade tensions continue to pertain.

Market Live Updates: How India-US Trade Impacts Countries
Dinesh Kanabar, CEO and Chairman, Dhruva Advisors:The India–US FTA is far more than a trade arrangement—it signals a strategic reset in the economic partnership between the world’s oldest and largest democracies. Coming close on the heels of the India–UAE agreement, India has now effectively stitched market access with the most dynamic consumption and investment hubs. For Indian business, this is not incremental—it is transformational. It opens predictable entry into high-value supply chains, technology collaboration and services mobility that were earlier constrained by tariff and regulatory frictions.

Silver Prices Live Updates: Spot Silver Up 11%
Silver futures gained by over 11.2% to hit an intraday high of 85.685 per ounce. As per Trading Economics, silver rebounded clawing back some losses after a sharp two-day selloff that erased as much as 40% of its value from record highs. Precious metals scaled fresh all-time highs throughout January, driven by heightened geopolitical and economic uncertainty, currency debasement concerns, and threats over the Federal Reserve’s independence, all of which boosted safe-haven demand. A structural supply deficit in the silver market, alongside rising investment inflows, particularly from Chinese speculators, further amplified the rally. The reversal came on Jan. 30, when silver plunged a record 26% after US President Donald Trump nominated Kevin Warsh as the next Fed chair, widely seen by markets as a hawkish candidate.
