Geopolitical tensions: Investors are buying gold due to turmoil in the Middle East and concerns about a trade war. There is uncertainty about US policies.
Central Bank Purchases: Major banks around the world are seeking to reduce their dependence on the dollar, so they are steadily increasing the share of gold in their treasuries.

Now is not the right time to invest in gold

According to Ajay Kedia, director of Kedia Advisory, gold has already gained nearly 60% this year, so there’s little hope for further gains in the short term. People may book profits. However, investing in it for the long term could yield benefits.

Keep these 2 things in mind while buying gold

1. Buy only certified gold: Always buy certified gold that bears the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmark. This number may be alphanumeric, such as AZ4524. Hallmarking indicates the caratage of the gold.

2. Cross-check the price: Cross-check the exact weight of the gold and its price on the day of purchase with multiple sources (such as the India Bullion and Jewellers Association website). Gold prices vary depending on 24 carat, 22 carat, and 18 carat.
