The precious metals market has witnessed a remarkable rally in recent years. Gold recorded one of its strongest bull runs in decades last year, gaining more than 75% amid geopolitical uncertainty and safe-haven demand. In India, gold prices climbed from ₹1,35,257 in early January to ₹1,57,480 by early March this year, reflecting a rise of nearly 16%.
Silver
Silver has outperformed even gold in terms of percentage gains. Supported by industrial demand and currency movements, silver prices surged sharply from approximately ₹78,600 per kilogram during 2023–24 to over ₹2 lakh per kilogram in early 2026.
Analysts continue to closely track global economic conditions, central bank policies, and investor sentiment, all of which remain key drivers for precious metal prices.
