Gold Investment 2026: Jewellery vs Digital Gold vs ETF | Which is Best? #goldinvestment #goldetf

Is gold still the best asset to own in 2026? In this video, we deep-dive into the "Gold Dilemma"—comparing traditional physical jewellery with modern alternatives like Gold ETFs, Digital Gold, and the now-discontinued Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs). While jewellery holds immense sentimental value and is a cultural staple for Dhanteras, it carries high making charges (8% to 35%) and 3% GST, which can lead to "investment leakage" of up to 15% the moment you buy it. Meanwhile, modern digital instruments like Gold ETFs and Electronic Gold Receipts (EGRs) are regulated by SEBI, offer 99.5% purity, and have no making charges or GST. What we cover in this video: • The SGB Shock: Why the government discontinued new tranches of Sovereign Gold Bonds in 2025. • Digital Gold Risks: Why SEBI has cautioned against unregulated digital gold platforms. • 2026 Outlook: Analysis of the "Doom Loop" (15–30% upside) vs "Reflation Return" (5–20% drop) scenarios. • Investment Biases: How to avoid the FOMO (Bandwagon bias) and Recency bias when gold hits record highs
