Gold & Silver ETFs: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has announced a major overhaul in the valuation framework for gold and silver mutual funds, directing asset management companies to use domestic spot prices published by recognised stock exchanges instead of international benchmarks.

The change is expected to reduce pricing discrepancies, improve NAV accuracy, and align bullion ETFs more closely with Indian market realities, thereby strengthening transparency and investor confidence in gold and silver funds.

India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has revised the retail jewellery sector’s outlook to neutral for FY27 while sharply raising its FY26 revenue growth estimate to 23% year-on-year, driven largely by record-high gold prices. Despite expectations of a steep drop in jewellery volumes due to elevated prices, organised jewellers are projected to outperform unorganised players, supported by festive demand, asset-light expansion, steady profitability, and stronger credit profiles. However, higher gold prices are expected to keep working capital requirements elevated through FY26 and FY27.

Although gold has not been directly targeted by Trump tariffs, fears surrounding broader trade measures have significantly reshaped the global gold market.

The futures premium over spot prices widened to as much as $40–$50 per ounce, while gold lease rates briefly spiked to 5%, reflecting temporary tightness. However, London still holds around 8,500 tonnes of gold, and key stress indicators are already cooling. The recent disruption appears to be driven more by precautionary repositioning than by actual supply shortages.

Japan Fiscal Policy is at a critical crossroads as the IMF urges continued monetary tightening and cautions against fresh tax cuts that could widen fiscal risks. While expansionary measures and sustained government spending may support growth and maintain market confidence in the short term, Japan’s already elevated debt levels and rising borrowing costs pose long-term challenges. With the Bank of Japan gradually raising rates and global investors closely watching the yen and liquidity flows, Japan Fiscal Policy decisions will play a crucial role not only in shaping the country’s economic stability but also in influencing global financial markets.
