Nifty-Gold Ratio Rises to 1.57: What Does This Mean for Stock Market Investors?
The Nifty‑Gold ratio climbed to 1.57, up from 1.5 last week, as the Nifty 50 rallied over 1,650 points in early April while gold prices stayed volatile.

However, a dip in the Sensex and a 0.7% slide in MCX gold on April 9 showed markets remain sensitive to global cues. Analysts see the current level as a potential buying window for equities, though gold retains safe‑haven appeal.
