Gold and Silver Prices in Correction: What Should Investors Do Now? Should Investors Book Profits or Hold?

"A correction in precious metals would not necessarily be a bad thing after such a sustained and strong performance. A pullback driven by temporary optimism around growth or rates could make both metals more attractive and create opportunities for investors by resetting valuations. If underlying concerns such as debt sustainability, currency credibility, or geopolitical risk remain then the overall picture does not change and any pullback offers good opportunities for investors to enter," said Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operations Lead, VT Markets.

" I still believe Gold is more appropriate as a core allocation to help provide portfolio stability, while silver remains an option for higher-risk, higher-reward asset, rather than a primary allocation," added the expert.
