Gold Prices are Near a Record High. What is the expert opinion on Investing in it?

Physical gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw significant inflows last week. Week over week, the inflows increased by 0.6%. In spite of growing production, this helped gold prices. Particularly in North America, investors' interest in adding gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to their portfolios remained strong.

Major international stocks climbed during the week, with the exception of China. Despite a rate drop by the U.S. Fed, the US dollar recovered and the U.S. Treasury rates ended marginally higher. The Fed's tentative rate drop appears to have little impact on the bond market.

The $3,700 per ounce barrier is where gold has paused, according to the gold trade association. The market's current state of mild overboughtness raises the possibility of a little healthy unwinding. It stated that the yellow metal's underlying strong upward tendency is unaltered.
