Gold and Silver Rally to Record Highs, Silver Jumps 3% 🚀
Precious metals continued their unstoppable run today as both gold and silver hit fresh all-time highs in international and domestic markets.
Gold at Record Levels
Gold prices surged to new peaks, reflecting strong safe-haven demand amid ongoing global uncertainties. Rising inflation concerns, a weaker dollar, and steady central bank buying have all contributed to the bullish momentum in gold.
Analysts suggest that investors are increasingly shifting towards gold as a hedge against volatility in equity and currency markets.
Silver Outperforms with 3% Gain
Silver was the star performer of the day, rising nearly 3% in spot markets. The rally in silver is supported by robust industrial demand, particularly from renewable energy, electric vehicles, and electronics manufacturing.
Traders note that silver is now catching up with gold’s sharp rally, narrowing the gold-to-silver ratio gap.
Gold’s Long-Term Journey: From 1990 to 2025
Gold has been one of the best-performing assets over the last three decades.
1990: Gold traded around ₹3,200 per 10 grams in India.
2000: Prices hovered near ₹4,400 per 10 grams.
2010: Gold crossed ₹18,500 per 10 grams amid global financial crisis.
2020: Prices touched ₹50,000 per 10 grams due to COVID-19 uncertainty.
2025: Gold now trades above ₹74,000 per 10 grams, marking a 2,200%+ return since 1990.
👉 This means an investment of just ₹1 lakh in gold in 1990 would be worth over ₹23 lakh in 2025.
Clearly, gold has not only preserved wealth but also multiplied it for long-term investors.
Key Drivers Behind the Current Rally
Global uncertainties pushing investors towards safe-haven assets
US dollar weakness and expectations of rate cuts in major economies
Industrial demand boost for silver in green energy and electronics
Central bank purchases continuing to support gold
Expert Outlook
Market experts believe both metals could continue upward momentum in the coming months. However, they also caution that any major central bank policy shift or sudden dollar rebound may trigger profit-booking.
Investment Tip: Experts recommend staggered buying instead of lump sum at current highs, especially for retail investors.
