"GOLD ALWAYS ADDS VALUE IN THE LONG RUN"
Referring to the place of gold in Turkish culture, İsmail Alper said, "My profession is jewelry, and I have been doing this for about 40 years. Right now, we see that silver is popular worldwide and has made a good premium. However, gold always adds value in the long run. The Turkish people have embraced gold; they always have a sympathy for it. If our citizens buy gold, it will definitely provide benefits in the future."
"NUMBERS MAY REACH 9 THOUSAND BAND IN THE SUMMER MONTHS"
Sharing price predictions, Alper specifically pointed to the summer months and said: "Currently, the 7 thousand band is being discussed for gold in the markets. However, in June and July, due to the wedding season, as all my colleagues predict, numbers may reach the 9 thousand band. Gold continues to rise little by little every day. The trust of our citizens in gold will not be in vain; gold is always a safe haven."
Despite the volatility in silver, Alper noted that gold maintains its stability and concluded his remarks by stating that long-term investment will yield returns rather than short-term fluctuations.
