Buying Sovereign Gold Bonds from the Stock Market: A Step-by-Step Guide
Real Estate News:As the Reserve Bank of India is not issuing any new tranche for Sovereign Gold Bonds, investors now are willing to buy the government-backed gold bonds from the secondary market, i.e. the stock exchanges. Investors have the option to acquire Sovereign Gold Bonds through the primary market when the government declares subscription periods or via the secondary market by trading on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

According to a report in the Economic Times, SGB prices have shot up by at least 7-8% on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) compared to the actual 999 purity gold price. Aksha Kamboj, Vice President of India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA) and the Executive Chairperson of Aspect Global Ventures, said \
