Gold’s glitter fades as world breathes easier, but for how long? Here's what expert says

As Indian investors, we have historically placed significant trust in gold, viewing it as a reliable safeguard against economic uncertainties and persistent inflation. The recent dramatic fluctuations in gold prices have naturally drawn our attention. After reaching extraordinary highs late in 2024 and early 2025, with gold prices touching around Rs 10,000 per gram (approximately Rs 1,00,000 per 10 grams), there has been a noticeable moderation. Currently, by mid-May 2025, gold prices in India have settled into a more subdued range of approximately Rs 9,600 per gram (Rs 96,000 per 10 grams). This moderation leads many investors to ponder whether the golden rally is merely taking a brief pause or signalling a deeper, fundamental shift in the market.
