If you own gold — jewellery, a Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB), or a gold ETF through your broker or app — it's worth about 9% more than it was a month ago. Gold crossed ₹93,000 per 10g in India this month, up from around ₹85,000 in July. A 50g jewellery set you bought last month is now worth roughly ₹4,000 more on paper.
What this means for you
- If you hold gold ETFs or SGBs, check your portfolio — you've quietly made gains without doing anything.
- Planning to buy jewellery for a wedding or festival? Budget ₹3,000–4,000 extra per 10g compared to last month.
- Gold ETFs are still the cheapest way to hold gold — no making charges, no locker fees, easy to sell anytime.
What you can do
- If you were planning to buy physical gold soon, a small gold ETF purchase gives the same exposure at a lower cost.
- Already holding? No rush to sell — but take a moment to note how much of your total savings is now in gold.
Gold doing well is good news if you hold it — just don't let a rally pressure you into buying more than your plan calls for.
