Gold Rate Today: From the ancient civilizations to the present, gold has been the currency of choice for payments. Investors primarily buy gold as a hedge against inflation and political unrest nowadays since it has minimal correlations to other asset classes.

In India, the price of gold is currently Rs 5,485 for 22k gold and Rs 5,984 for 24k gold, also referred to as 999 gold.

If any other asset class, like stocks or real estate, fell in value, gold would rise. It is viewed as a safe haven asset as a result.

Gold Investment Provides High Cash Flow
If you have any gold coins or jewellery, you can sell them at any moment at a nearby jewellery store to liquidate your holdings. Shares and mutual funds can also be easily converted into cash. However, it may take a few days for these things to be reclaimed and the sale revenues to be refunded to your bank account. Gold, in contrast to these securities, is more liquid.
