Market Insights and Investor Outlook
According to experts, the recent gold spike is associated with escalating tensions in geopolitical and ongoing central bank purchases around the globe. The domestic demand should also be good since India is in the season of festivity and weddings, which are the traditional gold-selling seasons. The policies and the currency movements of the U.S. Federal Reserve are closely monitored by investors, and they are still affecting the prices of bullion in the world market. The existing trend supports gold as a stable and inflation-hedging instrument for long-term investors.
