Gold, silver prices in your city, May 21: Price of gold is on the rise today, amid weakness in the United States Dollar (USD) and concerns about fiscal uncertainty in the world’s largest economy led by President Donald Trump.
Experts are steadfast that gold and silver are safe haven investments and recommend a mix of commodities in your portfolio to safeguard against any volatility in the markets.
In terms of returns, over the past year along, gold cost has jumped 30 per cent, returned 15 per cent CAGR since 2001; and since 1995, has beaten inflation by over 2-4 per cent, data shows. Further, while gold in 2025 has seen highs and lows, silver has been a slow and steady winner, sometimes beating out gold in terms of insulation from volatility.
Some experts state that even on dips, buying gold is an “opportunity” and others recommend gold ETFs to create exposure, instead of the metal itself, to further cut down on making charges and storage cost. So, you must check your own portfolio, goals, and with you financial manager (if one), for how to invest in these.
