When is the best time to buy gold in 2024?
The "best" time to buy gold depends on three forces: seasonal demand cycles (e.g., Akshaya Tritiya in India, Eid in Muslim markets, Chinese New Year, Christmas in the West), currency strength (a weakening local currency makes gold more expensive in real terms), and macro factors (interest rates, inflation, geopolitical risk).
Looking at 2024 specifically, showed the lowest average price ($2,034.40/oz), while was the highest ($2,704.31/oz). If you can be patient, watch for dips in early-year and post-Diwali pullbacks.
