Silver and Gold Prices Surge
Silver and gold prices have reached new highs.
Silver prices jumped by ₹11,000 to ₹3,34,840 per kg, and gold prices surged by over 5% to ₹1,58,339 per 10 grams.
This is because many people are buying these metals as a safe investment due to worries about the global economy and rising tensions between the US and NATO.
The weak rupee and expectations of lower interest rates are also contributing to the price increases.
Experts advise investors to consider silver ETFs as part of a diversified portfolio.
Silver prices surged by ₹11,000 to a record high of ₹3,34,840 per kg on the MCX.
Gold prices also rose by over 5% to ₹1,58,339 per 10 grams on the MCX.
International spot gold price increased by 2.1% to $4,862.46 per ounce, while spot silver price eased slightly to $94.48 per ounce.
The price surge is driven by safe-haven buying due to geopolitical tensions, weak rupee, and expectations of policy easing.
Experts recommend considering silver ETFs for long-term investment and advise against exiting at current levels.
