The gold prices are expected to hit about Rs 70,000 per 10 grams by the year 2024. This forecast comes amidst the market uncertainties and the ongoing global economic changes. Despite fluctuations in the price of gold throughout the years, the experts believe that the overall trend is pointing upwards.
Against a backdrop of global economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, the All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) foresees the possibility of gold prices reaching a significant milestone of Rs 70,000 per 10 grams this year. This underscores the vital importance of gold as a haven investment and a reliable hedge against inflation. Looking ahead to 2024, the appeal of the yellow metal as a hedge is expected to persist, especially as consumers navigate high commodity prices and elevated interest rates worldwide, potentially leading to overheating in financial markets.
In 2023, gold surpassed alternative investment avenues, driven by safe-haven purchases spurred by the United States’ decision to pause interest rates, geopolitical uncertainties, and ongoing inflation amidst a worldwide economic deceleration. With a 13% return, gold remained the most compelling investment choice throughout the year. Investors demonstrated unwavering interest in the precious metal, further bolstered by a late-year rally in equity markets during the holiday season. This robust appetite for gold was evident across all forms of gold products, including physical gold, bonds, and paper gold.
