Tapan Patel, Fund Manager at Tata Asset Management, believes the recent 16% decline in gold prices is a cyclical reset influenced by macroeconomic factors, including a stronger dollar and rising U.S. treasury yields. As Akshaya Tritiya approaches, a traditionally auspicious time for gold purchases in India, Patel encourages investors to view this dip as an opportunity to diversify their portfolios with gold ETFs and mutual funds. He highlights that while central banks have slowed their gold buying, they are likely to resume as market conditions evolve. Patel recommends maintaining a 15-20% allocation to gold and silver within investment portfolios, especially amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Additionally, he notes that the depreciation of the Indian rupee historically supports gold prices, providing a dual advantage for Indian investors during global price declines.
