Gold prices in India have soared to record levels, surpassing ₹1 lakh per 10 grams with a 28% rise in just one year. This surge is driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, inflation worries, and central bank purchases but these very factors also make this a risky time to buy.
Search trends, media coverage, and retail investor sentiment are all pushing one story: gold as the ultimate safe haven. Yet historically, times of peak fear often coincide with peak prices. While gold has offered long-term returns of about 9–10% annually, it has spiked more than 25% in just six months. That’s not steady investing it’s panic pricing. When the crisis passes, sentiment tends to cool and so do gold prices.
