FinMet Launches India’s First LME Education Program
We’re proud to announce the launch of the first-ever LME Education Courses in India, in collaboration with the London Metal Exchange (LME).
This landmark initiative aims to bring world-class education in metals trading and risk management to one of the fastest-growing commodities markets globally.
Led by FinMet’s industry veterans, Mr. PremNath and Mr. Sunil Kashyap, the program kicks off in Mumbai on June 21, 2025 with a one-day course:
“Introduction to the London Metal Exchange and Hedging within the Regulatory Framework in India.”
To ensure accessibility, the session will be delivered in both English and Hindi.

- Gold closed at $ 3289/oz yesterday, and has crossed $ 3300/oz as of this morning, reversing a downtrend due to concerns over the US budget deficit and political gridlock weakening the dollar, with $3350–$3390 as next resistance levels!
- Silver confirmed a technical breakout by surpassing its 50-day SMA at $ 32.70, closing above $33/oz, and now targets $33.50 amid increased safe-haven demand!
- US dollar depreciation accelerated following Moody’s downgrade of US government debt and uncertainty around trade policy, especially with Japan’s firm anti-tariff stance!
- Indian spot gold traded at a $25.42/oz discount to landed US prices, while silver remained flat, reflecting subdued local demand despite global momentum!
- Technical indicators like RSI and repeated bounces off key moving averages suggest both metals may continue trending upward in the near term!
- Gold and silver ended last week on a bearish note, with both metals testing critical support levels amid sustained US dollar strength and cautious Fed commentary!
- Gold's struggle to stay above $3200, coupled with repeated pressure near the $ 3164 support, signals weakening momentum. A move below this range could push prices toward $3100!
- Silver is forming a bearish wedge pattern on the Daily timeframe, repeatedly testing the $ 32 level and bouncing back above it; failure to hold here increases the likelihood of a decline toward $31.43!
- Broader market sentiment is being shaped by geopolitical tensions, trade policy concerns, and inflation data, all of which have contributed to dollar resilience and precious metal softness!
- This week, several Fed officials deliver speeches about the developing economic scenario, which would offer more clues on the timing of interest rate cuts! A tentative timeline may be provided by one of the officials, which would lend support to Gold and Silver, and allow it to retest earlier highs!
- Gold (XAU/USD) rose to $3343.87/oz after touching $3353.20, but faced strong rejection above $3300 levels; technical pressure points to a likely retest of $3270 support soon.
- Silver (XAG/USD) closed at $33.158/oz, after modest gains; however, failure to sustain above $33.50 signals potential pullback toward $32.70, the key pivot level.
- COMEX Gold June '25 contracts fluctuated between $3278.0 and $3363.8, unable to hold highs, suggesting near-term downside unless macro data provides unexpected support.
- COMEX Silver May '25 contracts moved between $32.025 and $34.035, but repeated failures near $34.00 highlight resistance buildup, increasing risk of a reversal toward $32.00 support.
Summary
Gold lost traction, closing at $3317.15/oz, pressured by strong US corporate earnings and optimism around US-China trade—yet the metal clings to the $3300 level, with bulls eyeing GDP data for direction.
If US GDP beats 2.4%, gold may decisively slip below $3300, undermining its recent support zone, while a weaker print would likely reinforce gold’s safe-haven appeal and keep it buoyant above that level.
Silver’s struggle at $33 marks a battle zone, with sellers repeatedly capping gains—but solid dip-buying around $32.70 and trendline support from the $28.70 low suggests a tug-of-war before a decisive move!
A break below $32.70 in silver could accelerate losses, with momentum targeting $31.70, $31.50, and possibly the 200-day SMA below $31, confirming a bearish shift unless bulls reclaim $33.20+
Gold prices surged to a high of $3,500, fueled by market uncertainty following initial reports of former President Trump's intent to dismiss Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
However, the rally was short-lived as Trump dialed back his aggressive stance, prompting a swift correction in gold prices, which retraced to $3,320.
The sharp price movement reflects the market's sensitivity to political signals impacting monetary policy. Investors are advised to stay alert as volatility remains elevated.

- Gold prices jumped to $3343.10/oz as safe-haven demand surged due to Trump launching an investigation into tariffs on rare-earth imports, escalating trade tensions with China and weakening the US dollar.
- Technical indicators suggest gold is overbought, making pullbacks below $3200 reasonable, though the trend remains bullish unless geopolitical tensions de-escalate significantly.
- Key resistance levels are seen at $3400 and $3500, but potential exemptions on tech products from tariffs could cause short-term pressure on gold prices.
- Silver climbed 1.36% to $32.762/oz, supported by safe-haven flows and Fed Chair Powell’s comments emphasizing inflation risks and reducing hopes of near-term rate cuts.
