Gold falls Rs 1,200, silver up by Rs 100
New Delhi: Gold prices declined by Rs1,200 to Rs1,00,170 per 10 grams in the national capital on Tuesday due to continuous selling by jewellers and stockists in line with weak global trends, according to the All India Sarafa precious metal of 99.9 per cent purity had closed at Rs1,01,370 per 10 grams in the previous market session. Gold of 99.5 per cent purity dipped below the Rs1 lakh mark, by falling Rs1,100 to Rs99,450 per 10 grams. It had settled at Rs1,00,550 per 10 grams on Monday. "Gold corrected further as traders reevaluated the likelihood of a full-scale regional war between Israel and Iran. This shift follows reports suggesting that Iran is actively pursuing a diplomatic resolution to its escalating conflict with Israel. "The potential for a fragile truce has fostered a bearish sentiment among gold traders," Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst - Commodities at HDFC Securities, said. However, silver prices went up by Rs100 to Rs1,07,200 per kilogram on Tuesday. The white metal had ended at Rs1,07,100 per kg in the previous market close.

#SHOWBIZ: Taiwanese singer Jeffrey Kung marries Malaysian girlfriend
TAIPEI: Taiwanese singer Jeffrey Kung has officially embarked on a new chapter in his life. China Press reported that last Tuesday, the 43-year-old and his Malaysian girlfriend, Eunice Jaymie Tan, tied the knot, having registered their marriage in Beverly Hills, United States, last year. The couple, who became engaged in March 2024, plans to celebrate their union with two wedding ceremonies later this year – one in Los Angeles and another in Putrajaya. Speaking to Taiwanese media, Kung, who was born in the US, shared that he met Tan online in 2023. Kung, known for his award-winning album 01, also recounted a humorous anecdote about how he informed his future father-in-law of his intention to propose to Tan in Bangkok, Thailand. He revealed that when he first sought his father-in-law's blessing, the latter responded, "I'm not sure yet." It transpired that her father was not questioning their relationship but was simply uncertain if Kung would genuinely go through with the proposal. Tan is reportedly a relative of the late IOI Group founder, Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng. She holds a Master's degree in education from the University of Melbourne in Australia and has been working as a teacher for the past seven years.

Photo: China Press Taiwanese artiste Jeffrey Kung has officially started a new chapter in his life. On Tuesday (May 20), the 43-year-old revealed that he and his Malaysian girlfriend Eunice Jaymie Tan had registered their marriage in Beverly Hills, the United States, at the end of 2024. The couple, who got engaged in March last year, plans to celebrate their union with two wedding ceremonies later this year – one in Los Angeles and another in Putrajaya. Speaking to Taiwanese media, Kung, who was born in the US, said he met Tan online in 2023. Drawn to her beauty, he decided to take a chance by sending her a message on social media – a decision that led to the start of their relationship. Kung, known for his award-winning album 01 , also shared a funny story about how he told his future father-in-law of his plan to propose to Tan in Bangkok, Thailand. The musician revealed that when he first sought his father-in-law's blessing, the latter responded: 'I'm not sure yet.' Kung eventually decided to go ahead and propose in secret. It was only later, after Tan spoke to her father, that the misunderstanding was cleared up. It turned out that her father hadn't been questioning their relationship but was simply unsure if Kung would actually follow through with the proposal. 'It was the biggest misunderstanding in my life!' the singer exclaimed. Tan is reportedly the niece of the late Malaysian business magnate and IOI Group founder Lee Shin Cheng. She holds a master's degree in education from the University of Melbourne in Australia and has been working as a teacher for the past seven years.

‘Blue Sky' moment as Bitcoin surges to record high
Bitcoin has surged to an all-time high on optimism about upcoming legislation. Image: IOL Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high of $111,534 (R2,01 million) on Thursday as US debt concerns and legislative uncertainty around President Donald Trump's tax bill weighed on traditional equity markets. According to AFP, the world's most popular cryptocurrency is riding on a wave of optimism over anticipated cryptocurrency legislation in the US, which could provide clarity for the sector. Bitcoin's previous high was around $109,000 (R1.44 million), on March 11, 2005. However, uncertainty over Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs weighed on financial markets through early April, until the US President announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs on April 9. Bitcoin broke through the $100,000 barrier once again on May 8 and has displayed solid growth throughout the month. "Now that January's high has been surpassed - and the 50 percent upside from April's lows has been achieved - bitcoin enters blue sky territory with tailwinds in the form of institutional momentum and a favorable US regulatory environment," Antoni Trenchev, co-founder of digital asset trading platform Nexo, told Reuters. "We're still in year four of the bitcoin price cycle - the year after the bitcoin halving when miner rewards are slashed in half - which historically means its best days are still ahead of it and - while macro uncertainty and the threat of further volatility remains, a target of $150,000 in 2025 is still very much on the cards," Trenchev added. Bitcoin's rally, which has also benefited other cryptocurrencies, has triggered substantial institutional interest, with Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) seeing more than $607 million (R10.9 billion) worth of inflows following the new price peak. This institutional adoption shows growing confidence in Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class among professional investors, says Luno's country manager for South Africa, Christo de Wit. "This decoupling from traditional equities is particularly noteworthy," De Wit said. "For South African investors, this development underscores the growing importance of cryptocurrency as a potential portfolio diversification tool, particularly as global economic conditions continue to evolve."
