Gold Deep Dive — Episode Summary
Gold prices have been on a wild ride — surging to 12 all-time highs before correcting sharply. In this episode, Sonia and Rakesh unpack what's driving the volatility: geopolitical tensions, US Fed rate expectations, and massive central bank buying. They break down the five key levers that move gold prices — the US dollar, interest rates, inflation, geopolitical risk, and India's unique festival-driven demand. The deep dive covers a major change to Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) taxation effective April 2026 — capital gains are now only tax-free if you buy directly from the RBI and hold for the full 8 years. The episode wraps up with a practical comparison of gold investment options: physical gold, Gold ETFs, SGBs, and digital gold — and what each means for your portfolio.
