Silver Also Records Sharp Surge
In tandem with gold, silver has also witnessed a steep rise in prices. Over the last week, silver prices jumped by approximately ₹3,000 per kilogram, with the precious metal trading at ₹1,03,900 per kg in Delhi.
What’s Driving the Gold Rally?
The continued rise in gold prices is attributed to multiple global and domestic factors:
-
Increased demand for safe-haven assets due to geopolitical uncertainties.
-
Strong wedding season demand in India.
-
Weakening of the Indian rupee against the US dollar.
-
Hopes of a potential rate cut in global markets fueling gold buying.
Experts suggest that if the momentum continues, gold could soon breach ₹1 lakh per 10 grams — a historic high for the Indian market.
