Gold prices firm above Rs 1 lakh mark, hover near all-time highs ahead of RBI MPC outcome. What to expect?
Ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) outcome on Wednesday, precious metals were trading firmly. On the MCX, gold October futures were slightly lower by Rs 113 or 0.11% at Rs 1,01,091 per 10 grams, while silver September futures were marginally higher by Rs 115 or 0.10% at Rs 1,12,351 per kg. ADVERTISEMENT On Monday, both gold and silver settled on a positive note in domestic and international markets. The gold October futures contract closed at Rs 1,01,204 per 10 grams, up 1.45%, while the silver September contract ended at Rs 1,12,236 per kg, gaining 1.79%. Gold and silver extended their gains during a highly volatile session, as downbeat U.S. job data increased the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in its September meeting. The dollar index and U.S. 10-year bond yields continued to decline, further supporting precious metal prices. As of today, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) was hovering near the 98.94 mark, down 0.16 or 0.16%.'Gold and silver also gained amid the U.S. President's threat to impose higher trade tariffs on India over Russian oil imports. The rupee slipped to a 5-1/2 month low against the U.S. dollar, supporting gold and silver prices in the domestic market,' said Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvifinmart Commodity Research.'Gold is trading near its long-term resistance of $3,454 per troy ounce. If prices sustain above this level on a closing basis, further strength could be seen in upcoming sessions,' he added. ADVERTISEMENT Jain expects gold and silver prices to remain volatile this week due to U.S. tariff concerns and fluctuations in the dollar index. How to Trade Gold? Manoj Kumar Jain suggested the following key technical levels for trading on MCX: ADVERTISEMENT - Gold: Support at Rs 1,00,100-99,650 | Resistance at Rs 1,01,555-1,02,200- Silver: Support at Rs 1,11,650-1,11,100 | Resistance at Rs 1,13,000-1,14,200- Strategy: Jain recommends buying silver above Rs 1,12,000 with a stop loss of Rs 1,11,100 for a target of Rs 1,14,000.

SIP or stop? What smart investors should do in 2025's market volatility
With global uncertainty rising and market volatility back in focus, many investors are asking, "Should I continue my SIPs or pause them?" In this exclusive conversation, ET Markets speaks to Chirag Muni, Executive Director at Anand Rathi Wealth, to decode the current scenario and outline the right mutual fund strategy for today's market. ADVERTISEMENT Excerpts: Q. Let's begin with Trump's move. The U.S. has imposed a 25% tariff on Indian imports. Do you see this as an alarm or an opportunity for SIP investors? Chirag Muni: While the 25% tariff sounds severe, markets haven't reacted sharply, partly because there's still a lack of clarity. The market did open lower but recovered quickly, possibly also due to the monthly expiry. In the long term, India's macroeconomic fundamentals remain strong. Our export dependency on the U.S. isn't significant enough to cause a massive dent. Preliminary estimates suggest that the GDP impact may be around 0.2%–0.3% if the full tariffs are there are talks of penalties related to India's continued imports of Russian oil, but these are still unconfirmed. Overall, from a 3–5 year perspective, India's outlook remains positive. So, market dips should be seen as an opportunity rather than a reason to panic. It's a good time to accumulate on dips.Q. Some investors are panicking and considering redeeming mutual fund investments. Should they hold or exit? And what about continuing their SIPs? ADVERTISEMENT Chirag Muni: If you're already invested, stay put. Rebalance only if your equity exposure is above 75–80%. If you're between 60–70%, there's little reason to worry. As for SIPs — absolutely continue. SIPs work because of rupee cost averaging. When markets fall, you get more units; when markets rise, fewer. This naturally reduces your average cost per unit. ADVERTISEMENT For example, let's say you started an SIP in January investing ₹10,000 monthly. If the NAV fluctuated between ₹9 and ₹13, your average cost would still be favorable compared to investing a lump sum at a peak.Q. Should new investors start an SIP now or wait for a dip? ADVERTISEMENT Chirag Muni: Timing the market is tough. We did a study over the past 25 years, even if someone invested at the peak of each month, they earned ~11.19% returns. Those who invested at monthly lows got ~12.65%, and a disciplined mid-month investor earned ~11.84%.So, the difference isn't significant. If you have investable surplus, start now. Waiting rarely helps in the long run. ADVERTISEMENT Q. What's your view on step-up SIPs in the current environment? Chirag Muni: Step-up SIPs are incredibly effective and often underutilized. Let's say a 25-year-old starts a ₹5,000 SIP and continues for 35 years — they might build a corpus of ₹3.5 crore. But if they increase the SIP by 10% annually, the corpus could grow to ₹9.4 crore! Even a ₹25,000 SIP can become ₹17.5 crore over 35 years, but with a 10% annual step-up, that corpus can grow to ₹47 crore. So yes, step-up SIPs are a powerful way to grow wealth over time.Q. Investors often wonder... which date of the month is best for SIPs? Chirag Muni: We looked at 25 years of data and tested SIPs started on every date of the month. The return difference between the best and worst-performing dates was just 0.15%. So, the date doesn't matter. What matters is consistency. Pick a date you're comfortable with and stick to it. Q. Do SIPs outperform lump sum investments? Chirag Muni: Yes, especially in volatile markets. In 20 out of 24 calendar years, SIPs offered a better average entry cost than lump sum investing. Over the last 10 years, SIPs outperformed lump sum in 90% of cases. Rupee cost averaging helps navigate volatility effectively — making SIPs the better choice for most retail investors.Q. What's an ideal investment horizon for SIPs? Chirag Muni: A minimum of 3–4 years is essential. Over three years, 90% of SIPs deliver positive returns. If you hold for five years, the probability of 10%+ returns goes up to 85%. For 15 years, it becomes 95%. Also, even if the first year shows negative returns, holding on for three more years often delivers 11–12% CAGR. So patience and discipline are key.Q. Given current domestic and global uncertainty, should investors review or rebalance their SIPs? Chirag Muni: Absolutely. While SIPs are automated, reviewing your portfolio annually is important. Evaluate scheme performance, asset allocation, and market cap exposure. If a scheme underperforms for a long time or your allocation becomes skewed, consider rebalancing. Regular monitoring is essential for long-term success. Q. Where should SIP investors focus: large, mid, or smallcap funds? Chirag Muni: Largecaps are less volatile, but mid and smallcaps offer higher return potential over longer horizons. From 2014 to 2024: Largecap (Nifty 100): Avg return ~12.6% Avg return ~12.6% Midcap: Avg return ~16.8% Avg return ~16.8% Smallcap: Avg return ~14% If you have a 5+ year horizon, a higher allocation to mid and smallcaps can make sense. Diversify across market caps for balanced growth.Q. What's a good market cap allocation mix for current conditions? Chirag Muni: Right now, a balanced allocation could be: Largecap: 55% 55% Midcap: 22–23% 22–23% Smallcap: ~20% This mix offers relative stability with growth potential.
