The MCX scheme acts like a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP). Gupta said that the investor can accumulate 1 gm gold and take delivery of the physical gold in the future.

There has been a trend where the gold prices have steadied in the  3-4 days.

Gupta previously told Zee Business that the Gold prices could reach a high between 40800 and 41000. He puts the stop loss at 39900.

He advises that gold is a good buy at this time and could be used to hedge losses especially at the time of global uncertainties and China Coronavirus outbreak. He also sees inflationary pressure to persist in the country further impacting the equity markets.
