Should You Buy Gold or Silver Now
Gold is up more than 16% over the past year, even after a 4.4% fall over the past month. Silver is up more than 34% over the year, but it has lost over 12% in a month.
This is a big pullback, especially for silver.
A staged approach works best. Spread your purchase across a few sessions over the next two to three weeks. This is safer than buying everything at once, as Dussehra demand may add some support while the trend is still unclear.
Whatever you buy, check for a BIS hallmark with a six digit HUID number on gold jewellery. For silver, look for a 999 or 925 purity mark before you pay.
