Key Reasons Behind Today's Price Move
Here is what is driving prices today:
- Comex Gold Gains 0.56%: Gold on Comex rose to $4,030.40 an ounce, giving MCX a lift.
- Comex Silver Adds 0.39%: Silver on Comex rose to $54.16 an ounce, a smaller gain than gold.
- Fed Rate Fears Cap Gains: Worries about US rates are offsetting central bank buying, which limits how far gold can climb.
- Oil Prices Weigh on Silver: Higher oil has raised US rate expectations, which has hurt silver in recent sessions.
- Silver Imports Approved: India has cleared 6,500 tonnes of silver imports over six months, which adds supply.
Should You Buy Gold or Silver Now
Gold is up more than 16% over the past year, even after a 5.28% fall over the past month. Silver is up more than 33% over the year, but it has lost over 16% in a month.
Today's bounce is small.
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 Fed rate fears and oil prices can still pull prices lower, while festive demand ahead of Diwali may offer some support.
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.
