Gold's Rally Amid Rupee Weakness: Lock In Returns Before Rates Move
Gold has surged ₹1,892 per 10g today as the rupee weakened to 95.11 per USD—a classic safe-haven play when currency stability erodes. With RBI holding rates and crude prices capping monetary easing, gold often outperforms fixed-income instruments over the medium term. If you have windfalls or are worried about inflation eating into FD returns, this is a good moment to revisit your portfolio allocation and consider gold's hedging power.
