Can you predict gold prices?▼
No one can accurately predict gold prices. This tool compares today's price against historical averages to help you understand if the current price is relatively high or low compared to recent trends. Always do your own research.
What does 'above 90-day average' mean?▼
The 90-day moving average is the average gold price over the last 3 months. If today's price is 10% above it, it means gold has recently spiked — it may or may not correct back. Historically, large deviations often revert to the mean.
When is the best time to buy gold in India?▼
Historically, gold prices tend to dip during July-August and after major festivals. Akshaya Tritiya (April/May) sees high demand but not necessarily the best prices. Buying in installments (SIP-style) over months reduces timing risk.
Should I buy gold as an investment?▼
Gold is a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation, not a growth investment. Over 10+ years, equity markets have typically outperformed gold. Allocate 5-15% of your portfolio to gold for diversification.
What is the best way to invest in gold?▼
Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB) are the best option — 2.5% annual interest + gold price appreciation + zero capital gains tax on maturity. Gold ETFs are good for liquidity. Physical gold has making charges and storage costs. Allocate 5-15% of your portfolio to gold for diversification.
