Gold Price Outlook: Expertspeak
Rahul Kalantri, vice-president (commodities) at Mehta Equities, said, “Gold price touched 73K mark recently due to geopolitical tensions and continuous purchasing from central banks. Historical precedent has taught us that gold tends to rise in price in the face of geopolitical tensions. The yellow metal is considered a safe haven asset, meaning that investors tend to folk to it in times of uncertainty, instability and geo-political crisis. However, there are several other factors also that affect gold price. Conflicts or wars between countries can lead to currency devaluation or depreciation. Investors may turn to gold as a hedge against these currency fluctuations, as gold is not tied to any specific currency and retains its intrinsic value.”
Now that the risk of a broader conflict in the Middle East has subsided massively and made it difficult for gold to build a bull run. Meanwhile, hawkish comments from US Federal Reserve (Fed) officials lifted the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield to its highest level since early November 2023, near 4.7 per cent, and didn’t allow gold to sustain at a higher level, he added.
“Although gold remain in structural bull markets, it is not advisable to take fresh positions for short to medium terms. In the short term, we are expecting some more correction in gold price till $2265 in international and Rs 69,800 in domestic market. We suggest now anyone who wants to take a fresh position should do only above $2420 in the domestic market; it’s above Rs 73,200,” Kalantri said.
Options available in India to invest in Gold are first and popular mode is physical buying but it has certain limitations to overcome this limitation nowadays the digital route is also available which includes such as Digital Gold, Gold ETFs, Gold Mutual Funds, and Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB). For short term investors we suggest to go for digital gold and gold mutual funds whereas Physical gold and SGB are more suitable for medium term to long term investors, he added.
