Gold Rate Update: This wedding season, are you giving your relative something made of gold or silver as well? The bad news is that although gold prices have increased and also silver is trading at a premium. You should wait for sometime and then buy when the prices of these metals will decrease. When it comes to precious metals used in financial transactions, gold is the most used. Generally speaking, investors purchase gold to spread their risk, particularly when utilising futures and derivatives. Similar to other markets, the gold market is subject to speculation and volatility.

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.
