Highlighting the growing importance of compliance, the company noted, “At a time when responsible sourcing is no longer only a regulatory expectation, but a strategic imperative, this recognition reinforces our commitment to supporting refiners, traders, and market participants in navigating increasingly complex global standards.”

The firm further emphasized its commitment to delivering high-quality, independent assurance services, adding, “Our focus remains on delivering independent, credible, and globally aligned assurance, while supporting stakeholders in building resilient and transparent sourcing frameworks.

AKW Consultants brings decades of experience in financial crime compliance, regulatory advisory, and forensic investigations. The firm was founded by Faisal Ahmed, Managing Partner & CEO, who has over 25 years of international experience.

A Chartered Accountant, Ahmed previously worked with KPMG and PwC in the UK, advising global institutions on financial crime compliance and regulatory strategy. He later served as Director and Global Head of Client Due Diligence for AML Compliance at HSBC.

Expanding Role in a Changing Compliance Landscape

AKW’s elevation to LBMA Assurance Provider comes at a time when regulatory scrutiny across global supply chains is intensifying. The firm’s core offerings span AML and CFT compliance, regulatory advisory, licensing across key UAE regulators, and inspection readiness.

With increasing emphasis on transparency, ESG compliance, and risk management, industry participants are seeking partners capable of navigating complex regulatory environments while transforming compliance into a strategic advantage.

AKW Consultants’ recognition by the LBMA is expected to enhance its role in supporting refiners, financial institutions, and precious metals market participants in aligning with evolving global standards.

In the spot market, gold prices climbed more than $100 to trade around $4,770 per ounce, while spot silver advanced by nearly $2 to trade above $81 per ounce, reflecting renewed demand after last week’s sharp correction. At 9:15 am, gold prices on the India MCX were trading higher by Rs5,078 at Rs1,49,069 per 10 grams, while MCX silver prices jumped Rs14,175 to trade at Rs2,50,436 per kilogram.

Trump Backs Continuation of Powell Investigation

Market sentiment remains sensitive to political developments in the United States. Donald Trump said the criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell should be allowed to continue. Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said U.S. Attorney for Washington Jeanine Pirro should “take it to the end and see.”

Meanwhile, Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina said he would oppose any new Federal Reserve nominee until the investigation into Powell is fully resolved, adding to uncertainty around U.S. monetary policy leadership.

US–India Trade Deal Cuts Tariffs, Impacts Dollar and Bullion

In another major development, Donald Trump on Monday announced a trade agreement with India that reduces U.S. tariffs on Indian goods to 18% from 50%, in return for New Delhi halting purchases of Russian oil and lowering trade barriers.

Trump said the agreement followed a call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding that India would instead import oil from the United States and potentially Venezuela. A White House official told Reuters that the U.S. would rescind a punitive 25% duty imposed on all Indian imports over its Russian oil purchases, which had been stacked on top of an existing 25% “reciprocal” tariff.

The agreement strengthened the dollar index, which in turn capped gains in precious metals, particularly in domestic markets.

US Government Shutdown Developments in Focus

Political uncertainty continues to linger as House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Sunday that he is “confident” the U.S. government will reopen by Tuesday. The House needs to pass a Senate-approved spending package to end the partial shutdown. Johnson said he is not relying on Democratic support to fast-track the measure.

China Gold Buying Ahead of Lunar New Year Supports Prices

China remains a key driver for bullion prices. The extent to which Chinese investors step in to buy the dip is expected to play a critical role in shaping near-term market direction. Over the weekend, buyers crowded into Shenzhen, the country’s largest bullion trading hub, to stock up on gold jewellery and bars ahead of the Lunar New Year.

Chinese markets will remain closed for just over a week from February 16 for the holiday period. At the same time, major state-owned banks in China are tightening controls on gold investments to manage heightened volatility.

Banks Maintain Bullish Gold Outlook, Iran Talks Watched

Some banks continue to remain constructive on gold’s medium-term outlook. Deutsche Bank AG said in a note on Monday that it continues to stand by its forecast for bullion to climb to $6,000 an ounce.

Investors are also closely monitoring developments in Iran after U.S. President Donald Trump said talks on a new nuclear deal could take place in the coming days. Any diplomatic breakthrough could reduce gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset and weigh on prices.

Gold, Silver Settled Lower on Monday After Heavy Sell-Off

On Monday, gold and silver settled on a weaker note in international markets. Gold April futures were settled at $4,652.60 per troy ounce, down 1.95%, while silver March futures ended at $77.009 per troy ounce, down 1.94%.

Domestic markets also closed lower. Gold April futures settled at Rs1,43,991 per 10 grams, down 2.55%, while silver March futures ended at Rs2,36,261 per kilogram, registering a sharp loss of 11.06%.

Gold and silver extended last week’s steep decline amid a stronger dollar index and heavy margin call pressures. Positions were liquidated early in the session due to margin calls, though prices recovered from the day’s lows on short-covering and bargain buying. A recovery in the rupee from record low levels also limited gains in domestic bullion prices.

Analyst View: Volatility to Remain High

Manoj Kumar Jain said:

”We are experiencing very high price volatility in both precious metals but silver prices could hold its support level of $65 per troy ounce and gold prices could also hold its support level of $4,440 per troy ounce on a closing basis this week. We expect gold and silver prices to remain volatile this week amid volatility in the dollar index, ahead of the U.S. job data and geo-political tensions.”

Below are the weekly views from leading market experts:

JM Financial

JM Financial noted that gold has corrected more than 17% from its all-time high, while silver is down nearly 30% from its peak hit last Thursday. In the domestic market, gold has declined around 20%, and silver is down nearly 37%, amid follow-up selling seen on Sunday.

The brokerage highlighted that a bearish engulfing candle formed last week has altered near-term technical structure. For MCX gold, key support lies at Rs 1,34,300, and a sustained break below this level could drag prices towards Rs 1,22,500 and Rs 1,10,000. However, as long as Rs 1,34,300 holds, prices may stabilise and gradually recover towards Rs 1,60,000–1,80,000 levels.

Silver’s parabolic rally reversed sharply after prices gained more than 25% in a week till Thursday, before ending the week down 20.7% following heavy sell-offs on Friday and Sunday. JM Financial highlighted support at Rs 2,22,000, followed by Rs 1,80,000, while resistance is seen at Rs 3,05,000 and Rs 3,40,000.

Manoj Kumar Jain, Prithvi Finmart

Manoj Kumar Jain said the Indian Union Budget brought no change in import duty on gold and silver, which helped eliminate the premium in domestic bullion prices. However, higher margin calls triggered panic selling, pushing prices sharply lower.

He said bullion markets are witnessing extreme volatility, though silver could hold support near $65 per ounce, while gold may hold support around $4,440 per ounce on a weekly closing basis.

For the international market, Jain pegged gold support at $4,680–4,620, with resistance at $4,800–4,910 per ounce. Silver support is seen at $74–67, while resistance lies at $84–88.80.

On the MCX, gold has support at Rs 1,44,400–1,37,700 and resistance at Rs 1,48,800–1,54,000, while silver has support at Rs 2,55,500–2,44,000 and resistance at Rs 2,78,000–2,92,000. He advised waiting for price stability before initiating fresh positions.

Kedia Commodity

Kedia Commodity said gold is witnessing long liquidation, with open interest plunging 26.31%. Support is placed at Rs 1,40,390, below which prices could test Rs 1,33,025. Resistance stands at Rs 1,53,365, and a breakout could open the path towards Rs 1,58,975.

For silver, the brokerage noted long liquidation with open interest declining 17.18%. Support is seen at Rs 2,59,265, followed by Rs 2,52,870, while resistance is placed at Rs 2,78,440. A breakout could push prices towards Rs 2,91,220.

The exhibition will feature over 1,600 exhibitors across more than 3,300 stalls, spread over 1.25 lakh square metres, and is expected to attract 25,000+ trade buyers from more than 800 Indian cities, including 1,400 international buyers from 40 countries. The sourcing landscape will span gold, diamond, silver, loose natural diamonds, coloured gemstones, couture jewellery, lab-grown diamonds, as well as machinery and allied segments.

This edition will host 12 international buyer delegations, further strengthening IIJS Bharat – Signature’s position as a global sourcing hub. International participation will include 21 jewellery companies with 43 stalls from the US, UAE, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, Turkey and Germany, along with four international machinery and allied companies across seven stalls.

Reflecting renewed business confidence, 368+ new companies will make their debut at this edition, collectively occupying 472 stalls, underlining the exhibition’s sustained growth and industry relevance.

Speaking ahead of the event, Mr. Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, said,

“As the first global jewellery trade fair of the year, IIJS Bharat – Signature plays a defining role in setting the industry’s direction. India’s gem and jewellery sector today is focused on strengthening global trust, expanding market access, and building long-term competitiveness through quality, innovation, and responsible practices. IIJS reflects this larger ambition.”

A key highlight at JWCC will be the Select CLUB, a curated luxury segment located at Jasmine Hall, 3rd floor, featuring 107 select companies showcasing high-end couture and fine jewellery. Designed as an exclusive sourcing destination, the Select CLUB underscores India’s growing strength in design-led, high-value jewellery catering to premium buyers and luxury connoisseurs.

The exhibition will also host the Jewellery Crafts Design Competition, encouraging exhibitors to reinterpret traditional Indian art forms into contemporary, wearable jewellery. Winning designs will be honoured and displayed at the Brilliant Bharat Theme Gallery across both venues.

The Innov8 Talks and Symposium Knowledge Forums will address critical and future-facing issues, including the outlook for the natural diamond market, Free Trade Agreements, InCent-LGD and IIT Madras initiatives in lab-grown diamonds, Ease of Doing Business, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in jewellery design, manufacturing and retail by 2030.

IIJS Bharat – Signature 2026 will also witness the launch of JewelStart, a flagship GJEPC initiative aimed at nurturing start-ups, MSMEs, designers and artisans through mentorship, infrastructure support, technology enablement and market access, in line with India’s vision of becoming the “Jeweller to the World.”

Sustainability remains a key focus under GJEPC’s One Earth initiative. This edition will eliminate over 600,000 single-use plastic water bottles at BEC (Nesco) during the show, building on earlier measures such as renewable energy integration, minimal-waste booth systems and the discontinuation of vinyl printing.

To enhance the overall participant experience, GJEPC has introduced Prime Plus Lounges, seamless digital entry, the IIJS App with a 3D interactive floor plan, improved search functionality on the IIJS website, direct buyer–exhibitor enquiry features, shuttle services and a wide range of accommodation options.

In this exclusive conversation with Virendra Vyas, Founder and Editor of Gold Silver News and Gold Price Today, Crowell discusses LBMA’s push for responsible sourcing, the importance of verified vault data, and the growing influence of digital gold. She also reflects on India’s pivotal role in the global bullion market and shares insights ahead of the upcoming LBMA Global Precious Metals Conference 2025 in Kyoto.

Virendra: What is your feeling about India?

Ruth Crowell: For India, I have a wonderful feeling about India. It’s actually a very special place to me. Very hospitable, but also lots of innovation and of course a lot of passion for gold.

Virendra: There are a lot of things happening in gold globally. We saw from the geopolitical side and the tariff side, a lot of gold moving from London to New York and then again from New York to London. What is the situation now?

Ruth Crowell: So I think the situation now is we’ve had clarity from the U.S. government in terms of bullion will not be tariffed. So we are very delighted to see that formalized in the executive order. And so it should mean that things calm down now. I think the world is still looking at tariffs generally. And of course, I appreciate that Indian jewellery in particular are really suffering here.

Virendra: How do you see the future of gold as we are now seeing Bitcoin, crypto, and other digital assets entering the market? What is your view on gold versus Bitcoin?

Ruth Crowell: So I think first of all, I don’t see it gold versus. I think actually there’s a lot of interest in both — of having something that’s outside of normal printed money, something that can be trusted. I think gold, I would be a little bit more focused on gold, but I think also you have the history, you can understand it.

I think what’s very interesting is when gold becomes fractionalized or digitized and it helps with the settlement — a concept that we all understand in terms of the value of gold — but allowing it to be settled more quickly, efficiently and trusted.

Virendra: From the LBMA side, what are the new initiatives you are working on, especially regarding responsible sourcing?

Ruth Crowell: So I think the biggest thing we’re focused on at the moment is transparency. And I’ll tell you a little bit about why transparency matters. We started publishing vault data from London in 2017. Now this was data that nobody really cared about — you know, conspiracy theorists said there’s no gold.

And in the market, it was a lot of work to get it agreed, partly because the Bank of England had to agree. But we were successful, and I think we got rid of a lot of those rumours in terms of “it’s not real, it’s not there.”

Now earlier this year, you started to see how important it was to have done that work. When, as you say, there were concerns — is London running out of gold? When the numbers came out, as they do every month on a consistent basis, you could see very clearly that yes, it has gone down some, but there are still strong stocks.

So the reason I raise it is that we have now committed to better transparency and responsible sourcing. Refiners now must name the mines that they’re sourcing from and the countries. And it’s the same concept. It’s not something that’s necessarily going to create change straight away, but it will already start to allow us to be seen that we have nothing to hide, we want to be transparent, and we want people to understand where their material is coming from.

Virendra: Gold is now at an all-time high in the market.

Ruth Crowell: I think the world is recognizing the value that this high-quality liquid asset is, in terms of gold as well as silver. You know, both metals have gone up nearly 40% since January — it’s crazy. I think about only it was five years ago, gold broke through that $2,000 ceiling and psychologically, it was a really big deal.

Now, I mean, it’s far from the ceiling — it’s not even the basement! I think the world would panic if gold went down to, you know, the lowly number of $2,000. So yeah, we are living in extraordinary times. But what I think is we will be seeing gold become much, much more mainstream.

Virendra: What are your plans for the upcoming LBMA Conference in Kyoto?

Ruth Crowell: I think it’s amazing where we are with the registration. We have over 720 delegates already, and we still have a good six weeks to go. At this time last year, we had just over 500 — so it’s not just the gold price that’s having a moment. I think everybody wants to know what’s happening and to hear it from the industry experts.

We have grown an enormous amount, and I think that’s also a reflection of how the industry has grown and the increasing interest in gold as a valuable asset.

Virendra: Best of luck for the LBMA Conference.

Ruth Crowell: Thank you so much. It was a real pleasure talking with you.

The annual LBMA flagship event is expected to draw over 900 delegates from more than 40 countries, including senior executives from mining, refining, trading, banking, manufacturing and investment. The programme will focus on the major issues shaping the precious-metals complex today: macro policy, Asian demand, PGMs innovation, sustainability and the evolving role of central banks.

Key speakers and themes

• Keynote: Hiroshi Nakaso, Chairman of the Daiwa Institute of Research and former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Japan, will open the conference with a macroeconomic address. Nakaso’s four-decade central-banking career and crisis-management experience are expected to set the tone for the event.
• LBMA leadership: Paul Fisher (Chairman) and Ruth Crowell (Chief Executive) will deliver leadership addresses and guide sessions on market standards, governance and responsible sourcing.
• Feature topics: more than 30 expert-led sessions will examine themes such as global macroeconomic outlooks, investment trends in gold and silver, sustainability and responsible sourcing, platinum-group metals (PGMs) innovation, mining dynamics and Asia’s rising influence on bullion markets.

LBMA Chief Executive Ruth Crowell said:
“Join us in Kyoto to embrace ‘kaizen’ — a Japanese phrase which has come to mean ‘continuous improvement’ — as we gather the precious-metals value chain to learn, strengthen our collaborations, and advance standards together.”

Why Kyoto matters

As custodian of the Loco London market, the LBMA plays a central role in setting standards for purity, form and responsible sourcing in the global bullion trade. Hosting the conference in Kyoto underscores the growing Asia-Pacific significance for physical demand and market flows, and offers delegates a platform to engage with policymakers, central bankers and market participants from around the world.

Networking & market access

Alongside the sessions, the conference will feature high-value networking receptions, private roundtables, gala events and exclusive research briefings — providing opportunities for one-to-one meetings and business development across the bullion value chain.

Vaani Kapoor was chosen as the face of Lukson for her modern elegance, individuality, and confidence. With her aspirational yet relatable presence and contemporary style, she embodies the ethos of a brand that is rewriting the rules of fine jewellery for a new generation.

Anand Lukhi, Founder & CEO, Lukson, said: “At Lukson, we are redefining what luxury means for today’s consumer. For us, true luxury is sustainable, transparent, and designed for the everyday. Vaani Kapoor perfectly captures this spirit. She represents a generation that embraces individuality while making conscious choices, which is exactly what Lukson stands for. Through this partnership, we aim to inspire India to see lab-grown diamonds not just as an alternative, but as the future of fine jewellery.”

Vedant Lukhi, Co-Founder, Lukson, added: “Vaani’s persona is aspirational yet grounded, stylish yet relatable. Just like Lukson, she bridges tradition with modernity. Together, we want to show that diamonds are no longer about privilege or occasional indulgence. They can be worn every day, gifted often and enjoyed guilt-free. This collaboration is a step forward in making luxury democratic and meaningful.”

Speaking on the collaboration, Vaani Kapoor said: “I am delighted to be the brand ambassador for Lukson and be a part of their journey. Jewellery, for me, is an expression of self, and I believe it should be both beautiful and accessible. What I admire about Lukson is that its designs are minimal yet striking, sustainable yet luxurious pieces. And I look forward to represent a brand that is redefining the future of jewellery in India.”

As part of her role, Vaani will front Lukson’s signature lab-grown diamond and vermeil collections, featured in festive and occasion-driven campaigns launching this season. With its growing community of conscious buyers, partnerships with retail and e-commerce platforms, and a strong D2C presence, Lukson is shaping a movement toward clean, inclusive luxury.

The brand has also unveiled new campaign films featuring Vaani Kapoor, now live across digital platforms, celebrating individuality and everyday luxury through its minimal yet striking jewellery designs.

Founded in 2024 by Anand Lukhi and Vedant Lukhi, Lukson is a next-generation fine jewellery brand from the JK Star Group. Backed by a 34-year legacy of diamond expertise, the brand is pioneering sustainable luxury with lab-grown diamonds, blending ethical sourcing, in-house craftsmanship, and contemporary design.
