Gold rate today

Synopsis

Gold rates are currently trending downwards, sparking interest among buyers ahead of the festive season. While short-term fluctuations are expected, gold remains a reliable long-term hedge against inflation, especially in India, where it holds cultural and religious significance.

Gold rates have been witnessing a downtrend for a few days. With key festivals such as Dussehra and Diwali just a couple of months away, many individuals are keen on buying gold at lower prices. Gold rates may fluctuate sharply in the short term. However, in the long term, the yellow metal is considered the best hedge against inflation. Not just for investment, people in India also buy gold for ornamental and religious purposes. While in weddings, gold is a prominent gift and a mark of prestige in society for an individual, buying gold is considered auspicious during festivals like Akshaya Tritiya, Dussehra, and Diwali.
