Metals Soar to New Peaks
NEW DELHI, September 2, 2025 — Gold and silver prices surged to record levels today, with 24K gold reaching ₹10,609 per gram (up ₹21) and silver climbing to ₹1,26,100 per kg in India. The rally reflects heightened investor demand amid global economic uncertainty, while analysts both anticipate further gains and caution about current valuations.
Global Dynamics Fuel Bullion Appeal
Multiple global factors are driving this bullish trend: a weakening U.S. dollar, expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, persistent inflation fears, and geopolitical tensions.
Gold soared to over $3,500 per ounce internationally, while silver exceeded $40/oz—its highest since 2011. ETFs and central bank buying (notably by India, China, Turkey, and Poland) are also supporting demand.
What Experts Say: Investing Strategically
Analysts recommend different approaches depending on your investment horizon:
- Tactical Investors may consider “buying the dips” to capture near-term momentum. Gold could test ₹1,07,000 per 10 grams, while silver futures might target ₹1,27,000/kg.
- Long-Term Investors are encouraged to maintain consistent allocation. Silver’s 42% year-to-date return slightly outpaces gold’s 36%, marking its strongest rally in five years.
The smart strategy: align precious metal holdings with financial goals, risk profile, and plan for long-term gains rather than short-term trading.
