Gold and Silver Prices Surge Amid Geopolitical Tensions
Gold and silver prices are going up because there are big problems happening in the world, like fights between countries.
People are worried, so they want to buy gold and silver because these are safe things to invest in.
The price of gold in India is around ₹138,819 for 10 grams, and in the US, it is about $4,500.90 per ounce.
Silver prices have also gone up a lot.
Experts think gold could reach ₹141,000 per 10 grams, and silver might go as high as ₹3,00,000 per kg.
The prices might change based on what happens with the US Supreme Court's decision on tariffs and new economic data.
Some people think the prices will keep going up, but others think they might go down if the US dollar gets stronger or if the economic data is not good.
Gold and silver prices are expected to rise due to geopolitical tensions and economic data releases.
Gold futures on MCX climbed by ₹3,058, or 2.25%, settling at ₹1,38,819 per 10 grams on Friday.
International gold futures jumped by $171.3, or 4%, to finish at $4,500.90 per ounce on Friday.
Silver futures on MCX surged by ₹16,409, or 6.94%, closing at ₹2,52,725 per kg on Friday.
Experts predict gold could move higher towards ₹1,41,000 per 10 grams and silver towards ₹3,00,000 per kg.
