On the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), the gold contract for August delivery was trading at Rs 52,143.00 per 10 grams, up Rs 226.00 (0.44 per cent) at 01:00 PM, while the silver contract for September delivery was trading at Rs 58,330.00 per kg, up Rs 155.00 (0.27 per cent) 01:01 PM.
On Friday, the Centre announced a hike in import duty of the yellow metal from 10.75 per cent to 15 per cent, in order to address the current account deficit and rising gold imports. Gold will now be subject to a basic customs charge of 12.5 per cent instead of the previous 7.5 per cent. The actual customs duty on gold will be 15 per cent when combined with the agriculture infrastructure development cess (AIDC) of 2.5 per cent. However, market experts do not see this decision majorly impacting the demand for the precious metal in the market.

In the international market, gold inched higher in choppy trade on Monday, as weakness in Treasury yields kept prices above the $1,800 mark and marginally outweighed pressure stemming from an elevated US dollar, news agency Reuters reported.
Spot gold was up 0.1 per cent at $1,811.76 per ounce, as of 0544 GMT. US gold futures rose 0.7 per cent to $1,813.70, the report said.
Commenting on the bullion prices, Tapan Patel, Senior Analyst (Commodities) at HDFC Securities said, “Gold prices fell after India hiked import duty with immediate effect while rate hike expectations were already in play to pressure the yellow metal. The US market are closed today on account of “Independence day”. We expect gold prices to trade sideways to down for the day with COMEX Spot gold support at $1,790 and resistance at $1,820 per ounce. MCX Gold August support lies at Rs 51,600 and resistance at Rs 52,100 per 10 grams.”
