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.
