Gold has always been a preferred investment avenue as it holds cultural and financial significance in India. Recently, gold prices have started to decline, attracting investors’ attention. The fall in prices raises an important question—should you buy now or wait?
Gold prices depend on various factors. Global economic trends, interest rates, and currency movements play a key role. The recent dip could be linked to a stronger US dollar and reduced global demand. For investors, falling gold prices offer an opportunity. However, timing and strategy are crucial. Understanding the right approach can help maximise returns while managing risks. Here’s how you can decide whether to invest in gold now or wait for further corrections.

Why Gold Prices Are Falling
Gold prices often act as a hedge against inflation and market uncertainty. When global markets stabilise, demand for gold tends to drop. This impacts its price. A strong dollar makes gold expensive for buyers in other currencies. This reduces global demand. In India, the rupee’s value against the dollar also affects gold prices. A stronger rupee can make gold cheaper domestically.
In early November 2024, the price of 24K gold in Delhi reached a high of Rs 80,000 per 10 grams. Earlier this year, it had surpassed Rs 81,000. Currently, as prices have decreased to below Rs 80,000, approaching Rs 76,000, many individuals are considering purchasing gold, especially with the ongoing wedding season and discounts provided by jewelers. These price reductions present opportunities, making this an advantageous moment for potential buyers.
