Experts state that market corrections create buying chances which long-term investors should capitalize on during the Indian wedding season because it increases demand for products. However, short-term market fluctuations will continue to occur.
“Gold’s recent volatility reflects its balancing between its traditional role as a safe-haven asset and the strength of the USD making it more expensive for foreign buyers. Heightened geopolitical tensions generally push investors toward gold as a store of value, driving prices higher,” said Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operations Lead, VT Markets. “However, in the current environment we have seen USD strengthen at the same time. This has due to expectations of tighter monetary conditions and has created downward pressure on gold. Due to the conflicting scenarios, we have seen volatile price movements,” he added.
Investors are advised to track global cues, US Fed policy, and rupee-dollar movement before making decisions.
