Gold-Silver Prices: Monday was a historic day in the bullion market. Amidst strong investor buying and global tensions, gold and silver prices broke all previous records. Silver closed at an all-time high of ₹3,02,600 per kilogram, a massive jump of ₹10,000. Gold also surged by ₹1,900 to reach a new peak of ₹1,48,100 per 10 grams.

29% Return in 19 Days
Silver has surpassed all investment records this year. On December 31, 2025, the price of silver was ₹2,35,701, which has increased by ₹68,499, or approximately 29%, in just 19 days. On Monday, silver also jumped 6% on the MCX, touching the ₹3,04,200 level.

Why the Price Surge?
Satish Dondapati, Fund Manager at Kotak Mutual Fund, explained that due to the ongoing global instability, investors are flocking to gold and silver for safe-haven investments. Additionally, the weakening US dollar in the international market is also contributing to the soaring prices. Increased industrial demand for silver has further fueled the price increase.

In the international market, the price of March delivery silver futures contracts rose by US$5.81, or 6.56 percent, to a record high of US$94.35 per ounce. On the other hand, the price of February delivery gold contracts rose by US$102.6, or 2.23 percent, to an all-time high of US$4,698 per ounce.

Is Selling Profitable?
According to experts, international signals will also impact the Indian market. In the local market, due to increasing demand and limited supply, silver prices are likely to rise further.

Should You Buy Now?
Experts suggest that there is a possibility of some profit booking at these high levels. Profit-taking may cause prices to fall slightly. In such a scenario, you can consider investing in silver for the long term during this dip.
