Experts attribute this surge to a combination of global economic and geopolitical factors such as geopolitical uncertainty and central bank buying. Live Events 'Gold prices have rallied in recent times due to a combination of global economic and geopolitical factors such as rising tensions globally, such as conflicts in the Middle East, and Trump tariffs, have increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset and several countries, including China and India, have been aggressively adding gold to their reserves to diversify away from the US dollar and enhance financial security,' Shweta Rajani, Head - Mutual Funds , Anand Rathi Wealth Limited shared with ETMutualFunds. The expert further shared country wise gold purchases over the years and mentioned that with India seeing a huge jump to 72.6 tonnes of gold in 2024, the highest annual purchase in this three-year period and a 347% increase from 2023 and this sharp rise indicates a strategic focus on gold as a reserve asset, aligning with global trends of de-dollarization and building resilience due to the geopolitical and economic uncertainties. Echoing a similar opinion, another expert mentions that fresh investments should be made cautiously. 'Gold has rallied due to rising global geopolitical tensions and increased central bank buying early in the year. While it has given strong YTD returns, fresh investments should be made cautiously, as much of the rally may already be priced in,' Shruti Jain, Chief Strategy Officer, Arihant Capital Markets told ETMutuaFunds. Quant Mutual Fund, in a recent note, highlighted that gold may be due for a short-term correction of 12-15% in dollar terms over the next two months. The fund house cautioned investors that the metal may have "peaked out" in the short term, noting that while gold prices have surged recently, the momentum could slow down, and a retracement in prices could be on the horizon. While commenting on whether one should increase their gold investment or wait for further correction, Jain advises that after this steep run-up, it's better to wait for a dip before adding more and gold should ideally make up 3–5% of the total portfolio as a diversification and risk-hedging tool. On the other hand, Shweta Rajani suggests investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, with an asset allocation of 80:20 in equity to debt but if one wants exposure to gold, it should not exceed 5-10% of their portfolio. Also Read | Eternal and Vedanta among stocks which Edelweiss Mutual Fund bought and sold in May 'Gold should be treated as a defence asset, with maximum exposure at 20%. Combined allocation to gold and debt should not exceed 20% of the overall portfolio to maintain growth potential,' she added. Amid safe-haven buying triggered by Israel-Iran tensions and weakness in the dollar index, gold August futures contracts on the MCX opened sharply higher by Rs 2,011 or 2.04%, crossing the Rs 1 lakh mark to trade at Rs 1,00,403 per 10 grams on last Friday, according to a report by ETMarkets By attributing the recent gold rally to mainly driven by demand and supply, not underlying fundamental metrics, the expert from Anand Rathi Wealth mentions that investing in Gold through SIP is not the best option for investors. They would generate a better return investing in equity mutual funds. She further shared that if an investor does an SIP in Gold ETFs and another investor does an SIP in 5 diversified equity mutual funds, the XIRR return for gold is 12.53%, whereas for an equity mutual fund portfolio, it is almost 15%. Sharing a different opinion, Jain mentions that the rally is largely driven by geopolitical tensions and global factors, including safe-haven demand and foreign central bank purchases and having gold in your portfolio is always a good idea because it adds diversification and additionally it's also a good idea to invest via SIP to spread out your entry and manage risk. In the last one year, gold based funds have offered up to 38.16% returns with an average return of around 37.16%. Tata Gold ETF offered the highest return of around 38.16% in the last one year, followed by UTI Gold ETF which gave 38.09% return in the same period. Zerodha Gold ETF offered a 37.69% return in the last one year. Invesco India Gold ETF FoF gave the lowest return of around 35.61% in the last one year period. Post looking at the last one year performance and current rally, Jain shared that Gold may face some pressure if geopolitical tensions subside and also there is news on selling by China. 'Expect it to trade in a range, and avoid aggressive buying at current highs,' she adds. 'Gold ETF holdings have declined in May 2025 to 930 tonnes compared to April 2025. However, the expectation is that the investors will continue to invest in yellow metal for portfolio diversification,' according to commodity communique by Tata Mutual Fund. Also Read | Deepak Shenoy's Capitalmind Mutual Fund files its first draft document with Sebi for a flexi cap fund After analysing the different probabilities of CAGR of Nifty vs. Gold over different time frames, Shweta Rajani firmly says that Gold's ability to deliver high long-term returns significantly declines over time and the chance of earning over 12% CAGR from gold is just 0.58% over 10 years and drops to 0% over 15 years and despite similar volatility to equity, its long-term upside is limited, making it less rewarding on a risk-adjusted basis. 'When considering long-term wealth creation, Nifty maintains a much stronger probability of beating inflation and compounding wealth versus Gold, which have a higher standard deviation and lower risk adjusted return potential. As mentioned, gold is a defence asset like debt. Hence, the total allocation to gold and debt in your portfolio should not exceed 20%,' Shweta Rajani said. Gold is considered a hedge against inflation and with global economic conditions remaining uncertain, gold is expected to retain its appeal as a hedge against market instability. Gold ETFs are exchange-traded funds that track the price of physical gold. Each unit of a Gold ETF is backed by a specific quantity of gold, usually equivalent to one gram. They are listed on stock exchanges, and you need a demat and trading account to buy and sell them. ( Disclaimer : Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

Mid & smallcaps will consolidate till earnings recover, says Shridatta Bhandwaldar
Shridatta Bhandwaldar , Head of Equities at Canara Robeco AMC, believes India's equity story needs a more balanced, professionally managed asset allocation approach. In this interview, he breaks down the rationale behind launching the Canara Robeco Multi Asset Allocation Fund and his outlook on small and midcap stocks. Edited excerpts: What was the core insight or market gap that inspired the launch of the Canara Robeco Multi Asset Allocation Fund—why now, and why this mix? Investors and households are persistently making asset allocation choices between – equities, fixed deposits, real estate, fixed income, precious metals etc. Fundamentally when you look at current asset allocation in a typical Indian household, it's skewed towards Fixed deposits and real estate. When you look at this skew – you know that there is a need for a professional approach to asset allocation to find a balance between risk and returns. Also, we observed that investors are either hyperactive or passive in their asset allocation approach. Fundamentally, Canara Robeco Multi Asset Allocation Fund will help investors to professionally manage asset allocation between equity & equity related instruments, debt instruments and Gold and Silver Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). We believe that there is a need for this product and as CRAMC, we can add value to investors through this category. Gross equity of 65% is chosen to ensure superior risk adjusted returns over period and equity taxation benefits. This apart, on 'why now'; in our opinion, Multi Asset Allocation Fund, being an all-weather category, timing the launch of the product has low relevance. Multi-asset strategies sound like the new black in a volatile world. How does your fund navigate the current global uncertainties—be it sticky inflation, shifting central bank tones, or geopolitical jitters? Canara Robeco Multi Asset Allocation Fund will be an interplay of equity (net equity of 30 %-80%, Gross equity of 65%), debt (10-25%) and precious metals (10-25% of Gold ETF/ Silver ETF). These assets have low or inverse co-relation with each other – thus reducing volatility of outcomes through cycles. While optimal equity allocation would help in enhancing returns through cycles; Gold ETF/Silver ETF and fixed income will enhance downside protection and act as a hedge against inflation / economic or geopolitical uncertainty respectively. This product is a good way to manage volatility and generate optimum returns across cycles. Investors love returns, but they hate surprises. What kind of risk-adjusted performance or consistency can investors realistically expect from this new fund? Based on category returns – one should expect returns in excess of fixed income with much lower volatility than any single asset class may generate. What's your call on equity valuations , especially in mid and small caps? Current valuations of mid and small caps are between 22-25x FY27 consensus earnings. This is 10%-15% higher than historical valuations and thus we expect consolidation in them till corporate earnings improve meaningfully. It is to be noted here that FY25 earnings growth has been low single digit so far. Are Indian markets priced for perfection, or do you still see underappreciated sectors where the story is just beginning? Large caps are largely in the fair value zone whereas mid and small caps continue to be expensive as highlighted in the previous question. Markets at all points in time have sectors which are expensive and others which are under-appreciated. We think pockets in discretionary consumption, financials and global cyclicals, building materials, etc. are under appreciated in the current market. Domestic SIP flows are holding the fort even when FIIs get cold feet. How sustainable is this retail resilience and can it shield us in the event of a global risk-off? Indian household's equity allocation through SIP has been resilient. If corporate earnings revive in FY26 from the current low single digit in FY25; this trend might continue for a longer period. These flows help in increasing our markets' resilience against global events. If you had to bet on just one theme for the next 12-18 months - be it consumption, manufacturing, AI, or energy transition—where would you place your chips? We don't think one should bet on one theme. We see markets in the next 12-18 months to be more bottom-up than top down and thus one needs to find out good opportunities across consumption, manufacturing and energy transition. There are limited plays on AI transition in India. One might find more bottom-up ideas in consumption over next 12-18 months against the other themes.

Gold Digger: As gold demand rises, here's how you find an outperformer
Gold ETF inflows soared in April, driven by Chinese investors State Street sees "bull case" of US$3500-3900/oz in 2025 Goldman Sachs surveys Australia's best performing gold miners Gold may have taken a tumble last night amid signs of normalisation in the US trade universe – a deal between the US and UK that keeps a 10% tariff in place but gives concessions for beef, steel and more – but even with a deal with China on the cards, asset managers remain gold bulls. At over US$3300/oz, gold prices still clock in at over $5000/oz for Aussie miners, with exchange rates also in their favour. Figures for April from the World Gold Council, following up the strongest first quarter since 2016 continue to show the demand from investors for the yellow metal. ETFs recorded a fifth straight month of net inflows, adding US$11 billion in April, with global holdings lifting 115t to 3561t. That's the highest level of gold held in global ETFs since August 2022 but 10% below the month-end record of 3915t in October 2020. Intriguingly, it was Asian buyers that provided the most steam for the engine, accounting for 65% of net inflows. Over US$378bn of assets under management are now held in ETFs, with Asian funds' US$7.3bn of inflows in the month of April the strongest on record, led strongly by China. "The bulk of the demand came from China (Table 2), marking the third consecutive month of inflows and the strongest on record for the region. And more impressively, the April inflows have now surpassed those in Q1 and in full year 2024," the WGC said. "In addition to the continued local gold price surge, demand was also driven by: The ongoing trade dispute with the US, which has raised fears of weaker growth, amplified equity volatility, and intensified expectations of the local currency depreciation Lower government bond yields, amid rising rate cut anticipations." US ETFs added US$4.5bn, their second highest on record. Despite the pause after gold prices hit a brief record of US$3500/t in the days post-tariff in April, forecasters continue to tip higher levels. State Street Global Advisors say "there is a strong tactical and strategic case to be made that the gold market has transitioned to a higher price regime north of US$3000/oz." They've loaded up a new baseline floor price of US$3000-3100/oz, with a base case of US$3100-3500/oz for 2025. The bull case for H2 has been moved up to an even stronger US$3500-3900/oz. "An extended global trade war – even if isolated to US-China – should buttress demand for gold as a haven and alt-fiat asset," State Street says. Despite the recent move down they say post-Liberation Day trade policies have 'enhanced the case for gold investment'. Are all gold stocks a good bet? A rising tide may float all boats. But not to the same level. Goldman Sachs' Aussie analysts Hugo Nicolaci, Paul Young, Marcus Dosanjh and Isaac Brooke have put together a catalogue of measurements to assess the outperformers in the ASX mid and large caps. Their most recent note extends GS' analysis to over 45 listed gold assets covering more than 85% of gold production in Australia by names listed here and offshore. There are a few market-specific trends which Goldman, on record as like equities above spot gold for value at the moment, has noted across the sector. "At a sector-level, we find AISC/cash cost increases continued to moderate in the Mar-25 Q, though UG mining costs continue to rise," they said. "While costs remain well above PcP levels, we expect further moderation of nominal cost increases, affirmed by our recent Perth trip seeing >25 corporates (mostly gold) with labour cost inflation seen at ~2-3% (and turnover for some falling to ~5-10%, from ~20-40% Covid peaks, improving productivity), softening oil/diesel prices, and unit costs further supported by grade improvements and growth projects adding to produced ounces." When it comes to companies, they like Capricorn Metals (ASX:CMM), citing "peer-leading cost performance" in both open pit mining and processing at the Karlawinda gold mine "adding a defensive buffer to our preferred mid-cap gold exposure". Gold Road Resources (ASX:GOR), which just agreed to a $3.7bn takeover by its JV partner at the Gruyere gold mine, Gold Fields, is viewed as having strong cash cost performance, while Newmont Corporation (ASX:NEM) (buy) and Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN) (neutral) have the benefit of copper by-products that support their cost base. Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) is also rated by Goldman as a buy, with strip ratios coming down at the Super Pit in Kalgoorlie and a wall remediation that cut off access to high grade ore deep in the big hole now complete. A number of mid-cap names also look attractive on their higher than reserve grade mining performance. Regis Resources (ASX:RRL), notably, has been seeing improved steadily improving grades that are outperforming reserves, Goldman's analysts noted. GS remains sell rated on Regis however, with its $4.25 price target tracking well below the current market price of $4.82.

Dateline Resources (ASX:DTR) Much like last week, Dateline Resources enjoyed outsized gains after Donald Trump called out its permitting success with the Bureau of Land Management, which confirmed its right to mine the 1.1Moz Colosseum gold mine in California. Strangely it seems to be the as yet untested rare earths potential of the operation which really has the US President buzzing. Once owned by Barrick, Colosseum is a historic gold producer but sits just 10km from Mountain Pass, the US' only operating rare earths mine. Dateline announced on Monday that it was preparing to conduct drilling for rare earths are the project where a gold feasibility study is also ongoing. White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) A thick intercept of good grade copper has WCN's tail up, striking 175m at 2.5% Cu & 8.66g/t silver from 7.6m, including 14m at 7.55% Cu & 25.8g/t Ag from 138m at the Rae project in Canada's Nunavut province. The hit included 3.9% Cu & 14.96g/t Ag over its last 60m and 4.46% copper at the end of the hole. A second hole delivered 52m at 1.16% Cu & 3.43g/t Ag from surface, including 7.6m at 3% Cu & 9.5g/t Ag from 18.28m, with more assays from the first pending. It demonstrates the potential for WCN to grow an existing non-JORC compliant resource and the copper and silver rich site. White Cliff called the strike at Danvers "globally significant". "DAN25008 was prioritised for assay due to the abundance of visual sulphides observed during drilling, and these results have underpinned our confidence in those visuals prevalent in the Company's prior work," MD Troy Whittaker said. "We believe this drill hole ranks among the most significant copper intersections globally within the last 50 years and comfortably sits within the top 10 globally reported 'grade-metre' copper results. "This discovery and outstanding results from Danvers is a clear testament to our technical team's expertise and geological understanding, in particular the professionalism and persistence of Olga Solovieva and Sam Vaughan. "To illustrate the magnitude of this result, the DAN25001 intercept of 52m at 1.2% Cu - a strong result in its own right - now appears modest when viewed alongside the 175m @ 2.5% Cu from DAN25008. In the context of global copper supply constraints, the Company is well positioned to leverage these results with mineralisation from surface, supporting potential open pit mining activities and an open water port less than 80km from the deposit."
