Ways to Invest in Gold That Hit Record Highs
The New Indian Express Anantapur
|July 28, 2025
Investing in physical gold, which has scaled 26 new all-time highs in H1 2025, comes with its own limitations
GOLD, which has never ceased to be the safe-haven asset, so far, has gained 26% in the first half of 2025, becoming one of the top-performing major asset classes. The precious metal has scaled 26 new all-time highs during this period in global markets—including once crossing the sensitive ₹1 lakh/10 grams mark in the domestic markets when the metal crossed the $3,500/ounce mark in the third week of April.
This 26 new all-time highs came after breaking through a 40-new-record streak in 2024 when it had rallied 24% over a 22% rally in the previous year.
What makes the metal so alluring to investors? There are many reasons, with the shining allure it has for women as jewellery (our households are sitting over close to 26,000 tonnes of gold in jewellery alone) and its ready fungibility/encahsability when in need of ready cash being the top reasons for its allurement.
