Currently gold price increased due to two reasons
1. Iran Israel conflict, whenever any conflict or geopolitical tension looms, people tend to run afterthe safe haven.
2. Chinese Economy - the growth is not as expected and hence the average household there also prefers to have investing in a gold kind of mindset like Indians. They invest in gold beads. You can google more on this.
I am currently investing in digital gold through BATUK app, as digital gold has certain advantages over SGB, ETF and Physical Gold
A. Anytime liquidity
B. Can be converted into Physical Delivery
C. Indexation Tax Benefit
D. Long term capital gain benefit if held for 3 years.
During the 2008 crisis, gold rallied 25%. Hence it is recesion proof too.
I would say add digital gold to your portfolio and I buy through batuk app.
Will buy some SGB once Gold falls a little.
This just hurts.
