I would not describe it as "too late", but I would say the risk-reward is less attractive than it was before the rally.

Gold tends to move in long cycles. Investors who buy only after a strong rise often experience a period of sideways or negative returns even if the longer term trend remains intact.

For a dividend investor, there is also an important difference:

STI

Gold

Generates dividends

No income

Benefits from earnings growth

No earnings

Suitable for income goals

Mainly for wealth preservation

More volatile in economic downturns

Often acts as a hedge

If your objective is monthly income, STI or other dividend paying investments are generally more aligned with that goal than gold.

If your objective is capital preservation and diversification, holding some gold can make sense.

A practical approach could be:

70% to 90% in income producing assets (STI ETF, dividend stocks, bonds, etc.)

10% to 30% in gold as a hedge

For someone buying gold today after a sharp rebound, I would consider:

Avoid putting all your intended allocation in at once

Buy in tranches over several months

Decide on your target allocation first (e.g. 10%, 15%, or 20% of portfolio)

For example, if you have SGD 100,000 to invest and want gold exposure:

Target 15% gold = SGD 15,000

Invest SGD 5,000 now

Invest the remaining SGD 10,000 gradually over the next few months

That way, if gold continues higher, you participate. If it pulls back, you still have cash to deploy.

How are you planning to buy gold?

Physical gold

Gold ETF

Gold savings account

Gold futures/CFD

The answer affects the costs and strategy significantly.

Gold Breaks Below $4,000! Will We See $3500?

Spot gold breached the key $4,000/oz level on June 24, falling 2.8% intraday — its first close below that threshold since November 2025 — and now sits nearly 30% off its all-time high set in January, entering deep correction territory. Rising Fed rate-hike expectations following Waller's hawkish pivot, and climbing Treasury yields diminish the appeal of non-yielding gold. With $4,000 serving as a critical support line, a sustained break opens further downside. Down nearly 30% and below $4,000 — will you average in on the dip, or wait for peak rate-hike expectations before acting?
