New Delhi, July 03: Gold prices climbed Rs 450 to Rs 99,620 per 10 grams in the national capital on Thursday due to continuous buying by stockists, according to the All India Sarafa Association.

On Wednesday, the precious metal of 99.9 per cent purity had closed at Rs 99,170 per 10 grams.

Gold of 99.5 per cent purity appreciated Rs 400 to Rs 99,000 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes). The yellow metal had finished at Rs 98,600 per 10 grams in the previous market session.

Additionally, silver prices rallied Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,05,800 per kilogram (inclusive of all taxes) on Thursday. The white metal had settled at Rs 1,04,800 per kg in the previous close.

“Gold and silver extended their gains after the dollar index fell to a fresh 3.5-year low, while US Treasury yields dipped to a two-month low,” Rahul Kalantri, Vice-President of Commodities at Mehta Equities, said.

“Additionally, concerns over the approaching July 9 US trade tariff deadline lent further support. If a trade deal is not finalised in time, higher tariffs could trigger volatility in global financial markets, which will be supportive for the bullion prices,” Kalantri added.

On the global front, spot gold fell USD 8.21, or 0.24 per cent, to USD 3,348.89 per ounce.

“Investors will be awaiting crucial US macroeconomic data releases later in the day, including non-farm payrolls (NFP) and unemployment figures, which could provide fresh direction for the Federal Reserve’s interest rate path and trajectory for the bullion prices,” Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst — Commodity and Currency — LKP Securities, said.

Srinagar, July 3: A non-structural interior window frame on one of SpiceJet’s Q400 aircraft became loose during a flight and was found dislodged, the airline confirmed in an official statement.

#SpiceJet from Goa to Pune today. The whole interior window assembly just fell off mid-flight. And this flight is now supposed to take off and head to Jaipur. Wonder if it’s air worthy..” a passenger wrote on X.

SpiceJet emphasized that cabin pressurization remained stable throughout the journey, and passenger safety was never compromised. The loose component, described as a cosmetic trim used for shade, does not contribute to the aircraft’s structural integrity or pressure maintenance, the airline added.

“The Q400 aircraft features multiple window layers, including a pressure-bearing outer pane, ensuring continued safety even if a superficial panel is dislodged,” SpiceJet stated.

The incident gained attention after a passenger posted a video of the dislodged panel on social media platform X, raising concerns about the aircraft’s airworthiness.

Srinagar, July 3: Multiple social media accounts of Pakistani celebrities and YouTube channels that were blocked in India during Operation Sindoor have been temporarily restored. This development comes after a recent government review found that several of these platforms had not shared anti-India content for a significant period.

As reported by the media, Instagram profiles of prominent actors including Mawra Hocane, Saba Qamar, Ahad Raza Mir, Yumna Zaidi, and Danish Taimoor were once again visible to Indian users on Wednesday. Additionally, YouTube channels belonging to former cricketers Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Akhtar were also made accessible.

Entertainment YouTube channels such as Hum TV, ARY Digital, and Har Pal Geo, which were previously blocked, were also made streamable in India again.

According to reports the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) intensified its demand for a permanent ban on all Pakistani entertainment content in India. In a fresh appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the association called for a complete shutdown, from social media and OTT to all forms of advertising and media collaborations.

Calling the reappearance of Pakistani celebrities “an emotional assault,” AICWA strongly criticised the development. The body referred to major terror attacks including 26/11, Pulwama, Uri, and the recent Pahalgam massacre where 26 civilians lost their lives. It condemned the silence of Pakistani artists and even their alleged anti-India comments after Operation Sindoor.
