Mint 40 min ago·6 Nov 2026, 5:53 am
Dhanteras, a major festival in the Hindu calendar, marks the beginning of the Diwali festivities and is traditionally considered an auspicious time to purchase precious metals. For investors and households in Kerala, this day holds special significance as it is viewed as an ideal moment to buy gold and silver, which are believed to bring prosperity and wealth into the home. The festival's timing, known as the Shubh Muhurat, is calculated based on planetary positions to ensure the best auspiciousness for new investments.
This surge in demand during the festive season typically creates a short-term bullish trend in the commodities market. For investors, this period can offer opportunities to buy physical assets at premium prices, which may hold their value over the long term. However, it is important to remember that prices often reflect the festive premium. Investors should monitor the spot rates in key markets like Kochi and Thrissur to make informed decisions. Watch for any volatility in global markets, as international gold and silver prices can influence local rates.
