Gold Has Outperformed Fixed Deposits in 2026
Gold can deliver higher returns than deposits but carries market volatility risk.
In 2026, gold has delivered returns exceeding 20%, compared to fixed deposits offering around 7–7.5% annually. However, FDs provide capital certainty without market volatility. Gold prices fluctuate based on global inflation trends, currency movements, and central bank buying. Financial planners often recommend allocating 10–15% of a diversified portfolio to gold to enhance returns while balancing stability from fixed-income instruments.
