Speaking to Reuters the Chancellor commented that he expects the Bank of England to \u201ctake decisive action\u201d to ease the pressure on consumers who are facing ever increasing prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This seemingly positive statement might go some way to providing hope to those struggling to pay the bills, but a politician\u2019s promise doesn\u2019t put food on the table in these trying times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, many owners of gold are considering selling unwanted items to ease the effect of the cost-of-living crisis on their household bills. In this article, we will discuss whether now is a good time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cashforyourgold.co.uk\/sell-gold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sell gold<\/a> to get some relief from increasing costs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Gold price rises as cost-of-living crisis deepens<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gold started 2022 on January 5<sup>th<\/sup> at \u00a343 per gram. As of the time of writing (March 26th), its price has risen to \u00a347 per gram, so, the price of gold has increased 9% since the beginning of the year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you had 5 grams of 24 carat gold to sell at the beginning of the year, you could have made&nbsp; a profit of \u00a3215. However, if you made the same sale at the time of writing, you could net \u00a3235. By waiting until the gold price increased, savvy sellers could realise a \u00a320 profit, and the more gold you have to sell when the price is high the more you can stand to make.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>How to sell scrap gold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Selling scrap gold with Cash For Your Gold is a simple process, whether you have some old unwanted jewellery gathering dust, or recently found a collection of gold coins when spring cleaning the attic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We accept most forms of gold including jewellery, gold coins and bars as well as dental gold.
