Gold rates surpass all-time high records in Hyderabad, other Indian cities

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Gold rates in Hyderabad and other Indian cities today broke all-time high records once again due to various reasons including economic uncertainties.
In Hyderabad, the rates of 10 grams of 24-carat and 22-carat yellow metal reached Rs 61360 and Rs 56250 respectively. Similarly, the rates of yellow metals in the international market hit a 13-month high, while silver rates reached a 12-month high.
The rates in other cities are as follows:

Cities 22K (in rupees) 24K (in rupees)
Hyderabad 56250 61360
New Delhi 56400 61510
Mumbai 56250 61360
Chennai 56900 62070
Kolkata 56250 61360
Reasons for rise in gold rates in Hyderabad, other cities
According to market experts, the gold rates in Hyderabad and other Indian cities have climbed due to various reasons, including weakness in the US dollar rate, poor US data, peaking out US interest rates, economic uncertainties, and a rise in oil prices.
Interestingly, gold has outperformed the stock markets in 2023 so far, with its overall return surpassing that of the Sensex and Nifty 50. While the 24-carat gold rate has increased from Rs 55,200 to Rs 60,000 from January 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023, the Sensex and Nifty 50 have dipped from Rs 60,840.74 to Rs 58,991.52 and from Rs 18,105.30 to Rs 17,359.75, respectively, during the same period.
This means that gold has given an overall return of more than 8 percent, while the profits of the Sensex and Nifty 50 have turned negative in the current year so far.
Gold likely to touch Rs 68 thousand
Many experts predict that the demand for the safe haven has increased due to the banking-industry turmoil and concerns that the US economy may tip into a recession. As a result, the gold rates are likely to touch Rs 68,000 in Hyderabad and other cities in the current financial year, giving a return on investment (ROI) of 10-15 percent in FY24.
With the current uncertainty in the stock markets, investors are looking for a reliable and safe investment, and gold seems to be the right choice.

Trump charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records, pleads not guilty

[ad_1]
New York/Washington: Former US President Donald Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records, the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said.
Trump, who was arraigned at the Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City and became the first former US President to be criminally indicted, reportedly pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.
Bragg announced the indictment after Trump’s arraignment, accusing him of “falsifying New York business records in order to conceal damaging information and unlawful activity from American voters before and after the 2016 election”.

During the election, Trump and others employed a “catch and kill” scheme to identify, purchase, and bury negative information about him and boost his electoral prospects, according to Bragg’s office in a press statement.
Trump then tried to hide this conduct, causing dozens of false entries in business records to conceal criminal activity, including attempts to violate state and federal election laws, the statement alleged.
The New York State Supreme Court indictment cited three instances of hush-money payments to cover up Trump’s alleged affairs, Xinhua news agency reported.
A Republican who held the White House from early 2017 to early 2021 after winning the 2016 race, Trump has denied wrongdoing and stated that the criminal inquiry led by Bragg, a Democrat, is politically motivated.
Trump’s Attorney Todd Blanche, speaking to reporters outside the Manhattan Criminal Court after Trump’s departure, revealed that his client is “frustrated” and “upset”.

“It’s not a good day,” Blanche said, adding that “you don’t expect this to happen … to somebody who was the President of the US”.
Trump is travelling back to his Mar-a-Lago residence in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he will hold an event to address his indictment on Tuesday evening, following the court appearance.
“Seems so SURREAL — WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!” Trump wrote on his social media platform “Truth Social” before arriving at the Manhattan Criminal Court earlier in the day.
Republicans have rallied behind Trump, criticising that the justice system has been weaponised by the Democratic Party for political purposes since Trump, 76, is running for the White House again and is an early frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
“Equal justice under the law, unless you’re a Republican running for President,” tweeted US Congressman Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican who serves as Chairman of the House Republican Study Committee.
Democrats, by contrast, are seeking to cast the historic indictment as an accountability move and urging Trump supporters to remain peaceful while protesting.
“I believe that Donald Trump will have a fair trial that follows the facts and the law,” US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement.
“There’s no place in our justice system for any outside influence or intimidation in the legal process,” Schumer, a New York Democrat, added.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Tuesday afternoon that President Joe Biden is aware of his predecessor’s arraignment but stressed that it is not the Democrat’s “focus”.
“Of course, this is playing out on many of the networks here on a daily basis for hours and hours, so obviously, he will catch part of the news when he has a moment to catch up on the news of the day, but this is not his focus for today,” Jean-Pierre said.
In addition to the hush-money payment case, Trump is facing several other criminal investigations at the state and federal levels, including his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, his handling of classified documents, and his role in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
Sixty per cent of Americans approve of the indictment of Trump, according to a new CNN poll released on Monday.
Support for the indictment fell along party lines, with 94 per cent of Democrats approving of the decision to indict Trump, while 79 per cent of Republicans disapproved of the move to indict.
Besides, about three-quarters of Americans say politics played at least some role in the Trump indictment, including 52 per cent who said it played a major role, the CNN poll showed.
