How to invest in gold 

• Gold bars: Known as bullion, these are sold by weight (gram or ounce), with purity, weight, and manufacturer details stamped on the bar. Gold rounds are another form you may find bullion in.
• Gold coins: Collectibles like the American Gold Eagle often carry a premium over bars of equivalent weight due to their rarity and collectible status.
• Gold jewelry: Jewelry’s price usually exceeds its gold content value due to design and craftsmanship.
• Gold futures contracts: These allow investors to agree on a set price for gold at a future date, enabling speculation without physical delivery.
• Gold funds: Mutual funds or ETFs holding gold assets. Like other ETFs, their value fluctuates with the underlying holdings.
