Mumbai Gold Rate Falls For 4th Session: Should You Buy?

While gold prices have remained muted over the past week. Experts believe that adding gold and silver in portfolio will offer a hedge against market volatility. "Commodities like oil, industrial metals, and agricultural inputs have been sliding as the conflict reshapes trade routes and disrupts supply chains. But gold and silver are a different conversation entirely," explained Vijay Kuppa, CEO, InCred Money.

"In a well-constructed portfolio, gold and silver earn their place not because of what they return in isolation, but because of how they behave relative to everything else. Low correlation to equities. A hedge against currency debasement. Resilience in risk-off environments," added Kuppa.

"Gold and silver aren't trading instruments. They're portfolio tools, held for the purpose of diversification and long-term resilience, not to be picked up and put down based on short-term market noise," added the expert.
