Why Are Gold and Silver Prices Falling?
Market experts attribute the recent correction to several global factors.
1. Strong US Dollar
The US Dollar Index has strengthened following signals from the US Federal Reserve, making gold and silver more expensive for overseas buyers. A stronger dollar generally puts downward pressure on precious metal prices.
2. Profit Booking
After gold and silver touched record highs earlier this year, many institutional investors and traders booked profits, resulting in a correction in bullion prices.
Should Investors Buy Gold Now?
Commodity market expert Ajay Kedia believes the recent correction has created investment opportunities for long-term investors.
However, he advises against making lump-sum investments.
Instead, investors may consider investing gradually through staggered purchases or systematic investment strategies to reduce market risk.
According to Kedia's outlook:
Gold could rise to around ₹1.60 lakh per 10 grams by the end of the year.
Silver may climb to nearly ₹2.80 lakh per kilogram if market conditions remain supportive.
Investment Strategy
Experts recommend:
Avoid investing a large amount at one time.
Accumulate gradually during price corrections.
Track global interest rates and US dollar movements.
Invest based on long-term financial goals rather than short-term price swings.
