With this increase, the total value of RBI\u2019s gold reserves has risen to Rs 6,88,496 crore, reported ANI.<br \/>This sharp increase also reflects a broader trend over the past year. The RBI\u2019s gold holdings have nearly tripled in value during this period, underlining a significant rise in gold purchases by the central bank. <br \/>This comes at a time when central banks worldwide are stepping up their gold accumulation to hedge against global risks.<br \/>Gold continues to be seen as a safe-haven asset during periods of uncertainty. The ongoing global trade tensions, particularly those linked to tariff disputes between the US and China, along with concerns over a weakening US dollar, have pushed central banks to increase their gold exposure.<br \/>On the domestic front, gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) hit fresh record highs. The June 5 contract soared to Rs 95,935 per 10 grams on Thursday. The surge has been attributed to safe-haven demand spurred by the Trump administration\u2019s tariff policy and retaliatory measures from China.<br \/>\u201cGold prices raced to an all-time high, driven by a weaker dollar, trade war tensions and concerns over global economic growth due to US President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff plans, which led to safe-haven inflows,\u201d said Manav Modi, senior analyst, commodity research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.<br \/>The RBI\u2019s increasing gold reserves, coupled with a steady rise in overall foreign exchange reserves, point to a more resilient position in managing external shocks.
