Indians shift to gold investments as local equities founder

  • Last week, gold prices surpassed $3,000 an ounce for the first time, driven by its role as a safe haven during turbulent times.
  • The surge in gold prices, up nearly 14 percent this year, is attributed to broader economic and political stress, including the Russia-Ukraine war that began in 2022.
  • This interest in gold is reflected in increased bullion buying by central banks, particularly in China and India, a jump in first-time buyers, and a climb of 68.1 tons in U.S. Gold exchange-traded fund holdings.
  • According to Jack Ryan of Bloomberg, "It's another golden age for goldbugs," while Polina Devitt of Reuters noted that "Small investors are increasingly gold-curious."
  • Fueled by geopolitical instability and concerns over slower U.S. Growth, gold prices reached record highs on Thursday in both international and domestic markets, with the international bullion rate hitting $3,052 and 24-karat gold reaching Rs321,000 per tola in Pakistan.
