Experts’ opinion regarding the fall in gold and silver
According to experts, gold is generally considered a safe option to protect against inflation, but its demand decreases in high interest rates because it does not provide any regular returns. There is inflationary pressure due to Middle East tensions, due to which global interest rates may remain high for a long time and the demand for gold may be affected. Besides, the strength of the dollar has also put pressure on gold prices.
Even though physical demand in India is weak as purchases at high prices are declining, demand in the form of investments remains strong, especially through exchange-traded funds (ETFs). It is clear that investors are now turning more towards financial options instead of traditional purchases.
