Return on gold: Gran has given excellent returns in the last few years of gold. In this case, it has left the stock market behind. The credit goes to the increasing economic uncertainty, relaxation of monetary policy, increasing inflation and heavy demand of central and retail investors worldwide.
Gold overtakes the stock market
From May 2019 to June 2025, the price of gold increased from Rs 30000 per 10 grams to Rs 1 lakh. This shows that gold has given a great return of 200 percent in the last about six years. At the same time, Nifty-50 has given a return of about 120 percent in this match. In most years since 2015, gold has performed better than both Sensex and Nifty-50.
In 2016, 11.35 percent, 5.11 percent in 2017, 7.91 percent in 2018, 23.79 percent in 2019, 27.97 percent in 2020, 13.19 percent in 2022, 15.37 percent in 2023, 20.61 percent in 2023, 20.61 percent in 2024 and 2025 have been given a return of 30.40 % in 2024.
Why are gold prices rising?
Gold is considered a safe investment. In the era of economic uncertainty, rising inflation and geopolitical stress, it attracts investors. In the last six years, there have been many incidents such as the corona epidemic, the war between Russia and Ukraine, the ever increasing inflation and the sluggishness of global economic growth and the gold prices of the central banks have increased a lot due to all these. Recently, in an atmosphere of uncertainty arising out of the tariff created by US President Donald Trump, investment on gold was also boosted, which increased its prices.
Will the glow of gold remain intact?
Experts believe that after giving great returns in the first half of the year, gold is in good position to continue its lead in the second half as well as the US Federal Reserve and other major central banks around the world are likely to get gold and support from the cuts in interest rates. However, after the prices rise too much, its demand may be reduced a bit, so experts recommend for the medium -term investors to consider it a chance to buy it if gold prices fall. Experts are not expecting too long and much fall for a long time.
According to The Mint’s report, Anuj Gupta, director of YA Wealth, says, investors who invest in gold five-six years ago can think of partial profit booking at the current level as the possibility of short-term improvement may not be ruled out before the next rise in the price. They estimate that by the end of the year, the price of gold can reach $ 3,500-3,700 per troy ounces. MCX Gold is expected to be within a radius of $ 1,03,000 per 10 grams by Diwali 2025 or the end of the year.
