On 3rd August gold was trading at close to an average of Rs. 54,000 for 10 grams, rising over 25-30% over the last year as investors have flocked to it as a store of value.\u00a0 In May alone, Gold ETFs provided a return of 22% to investors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?\u00a0 As economies flounder under the strain of Covid, and people become more apprehensive about their economic future, they are turning to safer investments, which have little to no chance of losing the entirety of their value. Gold is regarded as one of the safest investments, and is linked to economic turmoil across history, always moving in contrast to other securities with more risk, such as equity. In the 1920s as well as in 2008, when the stock market plummeted, the value of gold went up. Alternatively, when stock markets experienced a positive upward trend in the 1980s and 1990s, gold saw its prices fall. This makes investing in gold an effective hedging strategy for investors, who are looking for long-term investments in which they can store value, with little risk during turbulent times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/blog\/wealth-management\/why-have-gold-prices-surged-in-the-past-year\/\">Why Have Gold Prices Surged in the Past Year?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is gold rallying?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though stock markets have\nrallied after the record lows of February and March, falling interest rates, a\nweakening U.S dollar and tensions around trade, and economic recovery continue\nto fuel the price of gold. Indeed, Gold prices have been steadily increasing\nfor a while, particularly post the beginning of the US-China trade war in 2018,\nand rumours of global economic slowdown became more prominent in 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> COVID has only further aggravated many of the existing economic and geo-political tensions. As countries seek to tackle the virus through fiscal policy, and slashing interest rates, the yields of government bonds have decreased substantially, making these fairly risk-free investments less appealing to investors, particularly when adjusting for inflation. As massive stimulus cheques continue to be pumped in, many predict a coming inflationary period. Making long-term investments in Gold is widely regarded as a strategy for storing value during such periods, particularly in India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, gold is pegged\ninternationally to the dollar. As the dollar has fallen in value, the strength\nof other currencies have increased, making gold more affordable and thus\nincreasing demand for the same. When combined with the fact that the supply of\ngold has remained relatively stable, it is natural to see that the price of\ngold has soared, with some predicting that it could cross Rs. 60,000 per 10\ngrams in the coming months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/blog\/wealth-management\/why-gold-is-a-safe-investment-tool-in-an-economic-crisis\/\">Why Gold is a Safe Investment Tool in an Economic Crisis<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Investing in Gold<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of ways in which one can use this opportunity to invest in gold, even if prices are now becoming prohibitory. While you can purchase physical gold in the form of jewellery, or gold bars and coins, investing in Gold ETFs, Digital Gold and Gold fund of funds are your best options in the current market. Gold ETFs in particular have posted strong returns in the current year, and at the same time given exposure to the commodities, though there are still some expenses related to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Gold has proven itself to be a solid contender among investments and investing in gold should be a part of one\u2019s portfolio at all times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> However it is not the only way to secure and grow wealth in these trying times.
