In India, the price of a gram of 22-karat gold is currently Rs 5,680, while a gram of 24-karat gold is Rs 6,197.

Gold futures can be speculative
Investing in gold can be done through gold futures, but they are very speculative and can be dangerous for first-time buyers. With gold futures, a buyer and seller engage into a contract whereby the buyer commits to buying a predetermined quantity of gold at a predetermined price on a predetermined date, regardless of the state of the market. That implies that you could lose a lot of money (or your entire investment) if you hold the investment and the price drops right before the contract expires.
Gold Rate Today: On MCX
Gold is one of the few tangible assets, therefore investors generally think it’s safe. Purchasing gold is easier than investing in other tangible assets, such as real estate. Furthermore, because gold is tangible, it is not susceptible to hacking or other forms of misuse, unlike digital assets. It does come with some danger, though. Therefore, remember these. On the MCX, gold futures with a December 5, 2023, maturity date were trading at Rs 61047 per 10 grams following a 0.04 percent gain. On the other hand, maturing silver futures had a 0.20% increase and were trading at Rs 72972 per kilogramme on the MCX on December 5, 2023.
