SEBI to roll out rules for gold and silver ETFs
SEBI is rolling out a fresh set of rules for trading gold and silver ETFs starting September 1, 2026.
The goal? Make prices more transparent, protect investors, and help Indian ETF prices match up with global markets.
It's all about making things clearer and fairer for everyone investing in these funds.
ETFs get +-6% bands, pre-open auction
The new framework brings in dynamic price bands (starting at +-6% and adjustable if needed) to help manage big price swings.
There's also a pre-open auction to sort out any overnight price jumps from global markets.
By September 2026, the way base prices are set will shift to using the previous day's closing average, making things more consistent.
Even with these updates, gold ETFs remain a solid pick if you're looking to diversify your investments for the long haul, not just quick trades.
