New Delhi, Sep 6 Gold prices have surged over Rs 6,000 per 10 grams in the last 30 days in both retail and futures domestic markets amid geopolitical concerns, including US President Donald Trump's tariff jitters to many countries, including India, Brazil, Russia and others and, ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip.

On Friday, gold futures (October 3 expiry) reached a record high of Rs 1,07,740 per 10 grams on the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX), after rising nearly Rs 6,500 for 10 grams over the previous month. Meanwhile, the 24-carat gold price settled at Rs 1,06,338 per 10 grams, up Rs 6,262 from Rs 1,00,076 on August 5, according to the Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA).

This week itself, the precious metal rates escalated Rs Rs 1,845 for 24 carat purity, and since 18 August (Rs 99,623), it rose by Rs 6,715 per 10 grams, as per prices on IBJA.
