- Bullion's role as a strategic portfolio diversifier reinforced in 2024-2025
- Geopolitical tensions and dovish policies may continue to benefit precious metals
According to market experts, the past year has reinforced the role of gold and silver as a strategic portfolio diversifier and crisis hedge. While equities remain essential for long-term wealth creation, the 2024-2025 period has shown that in times of heightened uncertainty, precious metals can deliver outsized returns compared to other asset classes.
The article notes that geopolitical tensions have been lingering and monetary policy is still leaning dovish, which may continue to benefit precious metals. However, investors should remain mindful of the volatility and cyclical corrections that can occur in the metals market.
Sugandha Sachdeva, the Founder of SS WealthStreet, stated that the recent return figures clearly demonstrate gold and silver's role as reliable allies during periods of global turmoil, whether stemming from economic instability, geopolitical tensions, or natural calamities. Rahul Kalantri, the VP of Commodities at Mehta Equities Ltd., echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that while equities are crucial for long-term wealth creation, the 2024-2025 period has reinforced the strategic advantage of precious metals in times of heightened uncertainty.
