Rate of Gold in Aligarh
The rate of the metal is directly proportional to the demand for it. So lower the rates, higher is the demand and vice versa. More and more customers wish to procure gold when the metal is priced at a lower value while the demand slackens with increasing price.
- 24 karat gold
In Aligarh, 24 karat gold, as of 16th March, 2016 traded at Rs.2940 per gram which amounts to Rs.29400 per 10 grams of the metal. Pure gold is the best form of gold for investment purposes. So coins, bullions etc. are procured by customers in the 24 karat variant. This is because 24karat pure (unforged gold sells at the current market price) whereas gold that has been tampered with to form different designs sells at a lower value after deduction of the making charges (especially applicable to gold jewelry).
- 22 karat gold
22 karat is the most widely used gold for designing jewelry. This is because mixing another metal (reduced gold content) causes the metal to be stronger for being cast into various forms. 22 karat jewelry can be obtained from any of the jewelry shops across the city. The rate of 22 karat gold as of 16th March 2016, was Rs.2740 per gram. This implies that 10 grams of 22 karat gold in Aligarh costs around Rs.27400.
Gold investment options in Aligarh
Gold can be invested in, in two ways. First is the age-old way of buying and keeping gold in its physical form and second is to invest in other more innovative and convenient instruments like gold ETFs or gold bonds. Let us take a look into each of these one by one.
- Financial Market
The shine of the yellow metal continues to lure customers into buying it in all possible forms. While physical gold is good as a keepsake and for times of adversity, virtual gold is where most innovative investment options lie. Gold ETFs can be obtained from banks offering this financial instrument. These ETFs play on the current value of gold in the market and help customers invest in gold without even physically buying the metal. This is an easy and convenient option of investing in gold without taking the trouble to procure the metal in some physical form. Gold mutual funds are another financial instrument that are availed by the people of Aligarh. These funds invest in companies that are involved in gold mining. Gold is also traded in the futures and options market.
- Over the counter
Over the counter gold can be procured from both jewelry shops as well as banks. While jewelry shops sell both gold jewelry pieces as well as gold coins and bullions, banks deal only with gold coins and bullions. Banks like ICICI, HDFC etc. vouch for the purity of their gold coins and offer it as an excellent investment option. Gold in various forms is also an expensive but ideal gifting article. Most weddings and birthdays are incomplete in India without the exchange of this precious metal.
