Why is gold a good investment option?
Gold's constant returns have highlighted the importance of investing in the precious metal amid global uncertainty, which is exacerbated by Donald Trump's tariff announcements.
Gold can be a great tool for diversification because its connection with the equities market is not strong. Also, with digital gold, investors can buy anamount of gold smaller than the physical metal.
Individuals can invest a small portion of their spending on investment tools in gold. They can also buy gold SIPs to reduce the risk of buying gold when its price is high.
"Gold’s strategic role in portfolios has strengthened as investors navigate an era of slower global growth, policy uncertainty, and elevated geopolitical risks. With inflationary pressures, a softening US dollar, and anticipated US Fed rate cuts, we see sustained upside potential in gold prices through the remainder of 2025. Our analysis indicates COMEX Gold could test the $3,600 mark by year-end, supported by strong ETF inflows, steady central bank buying, and robust retail participation in India’s gold investment markets," Ventura's NS Ramaswamy told Business Standard.
