Gold Prices Fall Ahead of Dhanteras 2026; Experts Advise Caution Amid Volatility

Experts highlight gold's role as a hedge against inflation amid geopolitical tensions and US monetary policy shifts, while cautioning about market volatility. JPMorgan forecasts gold prices could reach around ₹2.13 lakh per 10 gm by end-2027. Historical data shows gold's susceptibility to sharp corrections, underscoring the need for careful investment planning.
