The jewellery business owners, particularly those, focused on trading gold, their goal is to make money from price changes in the market. The strategy involves buying gold when prices are low and selling when they are high, often within short periods. Success in trading requires good timing, market knowledge, and sometimes a bit of luck. Here are some key aspects to focus on:
Short-term Market Trends
Monitoring daily or hourly gold prices is crucial. Factors like political events, economic reports, and currency changes can impact these prices. SUNFACET helps monitor these trends with real-time data and analytics, giving a competitive edge in the market.
Economic Indicators
Interest rates, inflation, employment numbers, and economic growth are important indicators that can influence gold prices. SUNFACET integrates these economic indicators into trading strategies, providing up-to-date information and forecasts.
Seasonal Fluctuations
Gold demand can increase during specific times, such as wedding seasons in India or holiday seasons in China and the Middle East. Understanding these seasonal patterns can provide an edge, allowing for more precise timing in buying and selling.
Tools for Traders
Informed decisions require the right tools. Technical analysis software, real-time news updates, and economic calendars are essential. SUNFACET offers these tools to help identify trends, predict market movements, and make informed decisions quickly.

When to Sell?
For gold traders, deciding when to sell is crucial for maximizing profits. Key strategies include selling during market peaks, especially after significant price rises. SUNFACET’s real-time data helps to identify these peaks. It’s also important to consider economic indicators, such as expected decreases in inflation or rises in interest rates, which can signal good times to sell. Seasonal demand spikes, like wedding seasons in major gold-consuming countries or holidays, are also ideal times. Utilizing technical analysis to identify sell signals and managing inventory effectively by maintaining optimal levels is essential.
