Gold, Silver ETFs Surge: Should You Shift from Equities to Precious Metals?
- •Gold and silver ETFs surged up to 5% on January 28, mirroring a sharp increase in precious metals prices.
- •Analysts like Ross Maxwell (VT Markets) and Abhinav Tiwari (Bonanza) highlight gold and silver as attractive defensive assets due to geopolitical risks, high equity valuations, and central bank purchases.
- •Experts caution against making large shifts from equities to precious metals at current high levels, advising against chasing recent peaks.
- •Subhendu Harichandan (Anand Rathi Wealth) and Siddharth Maurya (Vibhavangal Anukulakara) suggest investment decisions should align with long-term portfolio objectives, not just recent price movements.
- •Ajit Mishra (Religare Broking) emphasizes that precious metals are portfolio stabilizers, not equity substitutes, advocating for a diversified asset mix rather than switching.
Why It Matters: Precious metals offer portfolio diversification and hedge against risks, but experts advise against large shifts from equities.
