On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), the June 5 gold contract was trading 0.95% higher at ₹93,317 per 10 grams around 9:10 AM.

Analysts attribute the uptrend to increased safe-haven demand, as uncertainty over global trade—especially the US-China tariff standoff—resurfaces. The weakening dollar further supported gold prices, making the metal more attractive to foreign investors.
