Gold and Silver Hit Record Highs
Gold and silver prices have reached new record highs in India and around the world.
This happened because people are worried about political problems and the US dollar is not as strong.
When people are worried, they often buy gold and silver because they are seen as safe investments.
The price of gold went up by almost 2%, and the price of silver also went up by almost 4%.
This is a big deal because it shows that people are looking for safe places to put their money.
In India, the price of 24-carat gold is around ₹15,430 per gram, and silver is around ₹3,24,900 per kilogram.
Experts say that gold is a good investment for safety, while silver can be more risky but also has more potential for growth.
Silver ETFs in India also saw a big increase after a big drop the day before.
This shows that people are still interested in buying silver, even though the prices can go up and down quickly.
Experts advise that silver is better for short-term investments, while gold is better for long-term safety.
Gold prices in the domestic futures market hit a record high of ₹1,59,226 per 10 grams.
Silver prices also surged to a record high of ₹3,39,927 per kg.
International gold prices reached a new high of $4,969.69 per troy ounce.
The increase in gold prices was driven by geopolitical risks and a weaker US dollar.
Silver ETFs in India saw a significant rebound after a sharp drop the previous day.
