Why to buy Gold, Silver NOW? 

While the slashing of duty is a welcome change and would bring down the prices significantly, the best time to buy gold and silver is now, the Senior Technical Analyst opined. He said as the international prices are expected to hold firm and may even appreciate, so the slashing of duty may not translate into gains if not purchased now.
