The price of gold experienced a slight decline today due to profit-taking in the market, leading to downward pressure. In futures trading, gold prices fell by ₹1,120, bringing the cost to ₹67,832 per 10 grams, as weak global signals impacted market sentiment.

However, geopolitical tensions and discussions surrounding the US trade war and Donald Trump's protectionist policies led to a surge in gold demand on Wednesday evening (February 5). The MCX gold price hit a new high of ₹84,767 per 10 grams, reflecting investor interest in safe-haven assets like gold amid uncertainty.
