There will not be no post close session for Gold ETF Securities. Usually Exchanges conduct Dhanteras Extended Trading sessions on the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras.
Outstanding orders i.e. unmatched orders at 15:30 hrs of Gold ETF securities will be carried
forward to extended trading session. However, members can cancel these orders during the
pre-open period viz.16:25 hrs to 16:30 hrs.
Most Investors buy Gold ETF’s during Dhanteras extended trading session as it is considered auspicious to buy gold on this day. Gold ETF’s are better option than buying physical gold. The reason being various advantages with Gold ETF’s like no wastage, no fear of theft etc. At present Gold is trading at lower levels internationally but not in India due to increased tax to contain Current Account Deficit and Rupee Depreciation. Once the tax is reduced Gold Prices may fall further. A similar decrease can also be expected with rupee appreciation.
For investment purpose one should take these factors into consideration.
