Dviya Delhi:  Today, March 18, gold prices have surged to all-time highs in the local futures market. This comes after there was increased skepticism about how US President Donald Trump's tariff measures would affect the economy. On March 18, MCX Gold for the April 4 contract hit an all-time high of Rs 88,499 per share. Investors looking for safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainty spurred by Trump's tariff policies have also caused worldwide gold prices to soar to a record-breaking $3,012.05 per ounce. The US Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) policy decision, which is scheduled for March 19, is now the market's main focus. The US Federal Reserve may maintain the policy rates at their current level, according to media sources. It might take two to three years for the yellow metal to reach the Rs 1 lakh mark. Over the previous five to ten years, it has produced a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 10%. Within the next two to three years, gold might reach Rs 1 lakh based on this trend, according to a Motilal Oswal analyst.
