Buyers are weighing whether to purchase now or wait, as gold nears Rs 1.45 lakh ahead of the festival.
Key facts
Story- Gold and silver prices have dropped in the days before Dhanteras.
- Gold was reported near Rs 1.45 lakh in a report published on 4 November.
- Financial experts advise buyers to match purchases to their needs and goals, and to buy gradually.
Gold and silver prices have fallen ahead of Dhanteras, the festival when many Indian households buy precious metals. Buyers now face the question of whether to purchase now or wait for prices to drop further.
The recent drop could offer some relief to households planning to buy gold for weddings, gifts or long-term savings. Gold was nearing Rs 1.45 lakh in a report published on 4 November. The exact price is not yet confirmed, and no figure for silver has been given.
Financial experts said buyers should first assess their personal needs and investment goals before purchasing. They said a gradual buying approach could help manage the risk of further price changes. More price movements are expected in the months ahead, but it is not known which way prices will move.
The choice depends on why people are buying. A household buying jewellery for a wedding has different needs from someone buying gold as an investment. It is not yet known whether gold prices will keep falling after Dhanteras, and no firm forecast has been made.
