As the countdown to Diwali and Dhanteras starts, precious metal prices including gold and silver have been scaling new highs. The price of 24 carat gold is hovering close to the Rs 80,000/10 gm mark. It has been observed that generally gold prices see an uptick in demand and prices around the festive season. Families buy in gold both as a mark of investment as well as for gifting near and dear ones.
Week on Week, there is significant fluctuation in gold rates on the back of geopolitical tension as well as the festive demand around this time. The yellow metal is often also considered as safe haven investment. In other words it means that it is a kind of investment that offers people assurance in difficult times.

According to Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst – Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities, “The ongoing escalation of conflict in the Middle East continues to act as a strong support for gold, as investors seek safe-haven assets amid rising geopolitical risks. Additionally, the downward trajectory in the interest rate cycle, coupled with broader global economic uncertainty, has further bolstered the yellow metal. Major central banks’ consistent support for gold buying adds to its bullish outlook in the current risk-averse environment.
On the technical front, gold has solid support between Rs 77,000-77,250/10 gm in MCX, providing a floor for any short-term pullbacks. On the upside, resistance is seen in the range of Rs 78,550-78,775/10 gm, indicating the next potential targets for further gains.”
Most analyst expect that given the current geopolitical and economic backdrop, gold’s upward momentum is likely to persist. They suggest that any price dips can be used as potential buying opportunities.
Praveen Singh – Associate VP, Fundamental Currencies and Commodities, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas adds that, “the metal continues to rise on healthy ETF inflows, geopolitical risks and uncertainties over the US Presidential election. Upcoming BRICS summit 2024 in Russia (October 22-24) and positive views on the metal at recently concluded LBMA Survey 2024 also are instrumental in keeping the metal buoyant. The survey sees the metal rising to $2941 by the end of October next year.”
Why is gold a safe haven investment
One of the key reasons that gold is seen as a safe haven investment is primarily because of the importance of the yellow metal as a potential hedge against monetary expansion and its role in maintaining the currency value.
Additionally it is also inflation resilient and often protects investors from its erosive impact. In times when the cost of living increases, gold’s relative value also improves and shields its investors from the potential devaluation of the portfolio. It tends to trade better in times of downswings in the economy.
