“ The price for the Sovereign Gold Bond tranche-8 has been fixed at 4791/gm. The Sovereign Gold Bond is an effective way of taking exposure to gold.

SGB is a favored route for the government to convert all gold investments into a digital mode, it will help keep the deficit under control, provide support to the currency.
After hitting a 9-month high earlier in the month, gold prices were trading in a narrow range for the past few sessions.
