However, the way these investments are perceived and utilized is evolving, especially among young investors. With advancements in technology, changing economic dynamics, and shifting priorities, the future of precious metal investments for young investors in India presents both opportunities and challenges.

● Digitalization and Accessibility

One of the most significant trends shaping the future of precious metal investments is digitalization.

Traditionally, investing in gold and silver meant buying physical bullion, coins, or jewellery. However, digital platforms now offer frac tional ownership of these metals, allowing young investors to buy and sell gold in small amounts through mobile apps and online platforms. This accessibility is particularly appealing to millennials and Gen Z, who may not have the capital to invest in large quantities of physical gold.
