What do experts say and what should investors do? (Gold Investment Advice before Dhanteras)
Experts believe that due to festive demand and strong global cues, gold prices remain stable for the time being, although they are now at higher levels. International gold prices have also reached around $4,180.8 per ounce, registering an increase of 1.66%. Behind this, reasons like weakness in the Dollar Index (DXY) and ongoing geopolitical tensions at the global level are also attracting investors towards gold as a safe haven.
Investors who are thinking of investing in gold should give some thought to the current record high prices. While gold is considered a good and safe option for long-term investment, it is important to exercise caution for short-term gains at current levels. While buying gold, always check the Hallmarking, Making Charges and Buyback Policy of the jeweller. ‘Identifying the purity of gold’ is also very important.
While buying gold this Diwali-Dhanteras, take a wise decision keeping in mind your needs and investment objective. In view of the ‘rising prices of gold’, do not take hasty decisions without complete information.
