Global gold markets are quite down today; investors got impacted by news reports as "most parts represent dovish sentiment both from the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve." Jim Wyckoff, Senior Market Analysts and Columnist commented, "The safe-haven metals bulls are stymied this week by the fact gold and silver prices have sold off in the face of some heightened risk aversion." This is the third day in a row that gold rates have fallen marginally in the domestic market.

However, today in India gold rates have dropped by Rs. 120 while yesterday the rates dropped by Rs. 290. In the first quarter of 2022, the US Fed might start shrinking the bond-buying process, then the gold rates will drop again. However, the present market rates are only market averages impacted by current political and economic developments. In the long term, gold, as a precious commodity will offer better returns, if the investors buy it at subdued rates now.
