Gold and silver prices in India continue to remain on a strong upward trajectory, supported by both domestic and global factors. Over the past one week, gold prices have recorded a sharp rise, while silver has witnessed an even steeper jump. The precious metals market is reacting to global monetary policy changes, currency movements, and safe-haven demand, keeping investor interest firmly intact.
On a weekly basis, 24-carat gold prices in India have increased by ₹3,770 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold has risen by ₹3,450 per 10 grams. As of December 14, 2025, gold prices are trading close to record highs in most major cities.
In the national capital Delhi, the price of 24-carat gold stands at ₹1,34,070 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold is priced at ₹1,22,900 per 10 grams. The continued rise highlights strong buying interest despite elevated price levels.
In the international market, spot gold is trading at around $4,338.40 per ounce, reflecting sustained global demand for the yellow metal.
Gold prices across key metro cities are largely aligned, with minor variations due to local taxes and logistics costs.

These prices underline the strength of the domestic bullion market, which has outperformed global markets this year.
Several factors are driving the current rally in gold:
Interest Rate Cut by the US Federal Reserve
The US Federal Reserve recently cut its key interest rate by 0.25 percent. Lower interest rates typically reduce bond yields, making non-interest-bearing assets like gold more attractive to investors.
Global Economic Uncertainty
Ongoing geopolitical tensions and concerns over global economic growth have increased demand for safe-haven assets such as gold and silver.
Weakness in the Indian Rupee
A softer rupee against the US dollar has pushed domestic gold prices higher, as India depends heavily on gold imports.
Strong Investment Demand
Both institutional and retail investors continue to allocate funds to gold as a hedge against inflation and currency volatility.
So far in 2025, gold prices in the Indian market have surged by nearly 65 percent, while global gold prices have climbed by around 60 percent, according to international bullion benchmarks.
Silver has delivered an even stronger performance over the past week. Prices have jumped by ₹8,000 per kilogram, taking the metal to ₹1,98,000 per kg in the domestic market as of December 14.
In overseas markets, spot silver prices have risen to approximately $64.57 per ounce, supported by both investment demand and industrial consumption. Silver’s dual role as a precious and industrial metal has helped it outperform gold during periods of strong market momentum.
The sharp rise in gold and silver prices suggests that precious metals remain firmly in focus as preferred investment options. With global interest rates expected to remain supportive and economic uncertainties lingering, analysts believe demand for gold and silver could stay resilient in the near term.
However, experts advise investors to avoid chasing prices blindly. While gold has historically offered stability during volatile periods, diversification and a long-term investment approach remain crucial for managing risk effectively.
Gold prices in India have gained significant momentum, rising sharply over the past week, while silver has posted even stronger gains. Supported by global monetary easing, currency movements, and safe-haven demand, precious metals continue to attract investor interest. As markets evolve, gold and silver are likely to remain key assets to watch for both short-term trends and long-term portfolio stability.
