Expectation of rise in gold and silver prices
Gold-Silver Prediction: The way the prices of gold and silver created historical records in the last year i.e. 2025, it surprised everyone from the common man to the investors. If you are thinking that this boom will stop now, then the opinion of experts is completely different from this. Market experts believe that this ‘bull run’ is going to continue in 2026 and prices may touch a new peak. Due to the desire for safe investment and increasing demand in the industry, the burden on your pocket is going to increase in the coming days.
Where has the sentiment reached now?
The latest data from India Bullion and Jewelers Association (IBJA) and MCX shows that the market is already hot. If we talk about last week itself, there was a huge jump in gold futures with February expiry and it reached the level of Rs 1,38,875 per 10 grams. At the same time, if you go to buy gold in the market, then the price of 24 carat gold in the spot market has reached Rs 1,37,122 per 10 grams.
The shine of silver seems to be brighter than that of gold. The silver contract with March expiry on MCX has touched the level of Rs 2,52,002 per kg. Silver has broken its old range and entered a strong ‘bullish’ phase, which simply means that the prices are ready to go up further.
Why are prices on fire?
The reason behind this huge increase in prices is not just wedding purchases, but the reasons for this are global. According to Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, gold remains strong around $ 4,500 an ounce in the international market (Comex).
At the same time, the story of silver is a little different and interesting. Silver is no longer limited to jewelery only. The main reason for the rise in its prices is ‘green energy’. Silver is used extensively in solar panels, electric vehicles (EV) and AI infrastructure. As the world is moving towards green energy, the industrial demand for silver is skyrocketing. Additionally, Central Banks around the world are continuously buying gold and due to geopolitical tensions, investors are turning to the bullion market as a safe haven.
Will silver reach Rs 3 lakh?
Last year’s returns for investors have been excellent. In 2025, gold gave a return of about 66 percent and silver gave a return of more than 171 percent. Now the biggest question is where will this trend stop? Experts estimate that by the end of 2026, the price of gold may go up to $ 5,000 per ounce in the international market. If we look at it in Indian rupees, gold can go from Rs 1.70 to Rs 2 lakh per 10 grams. At the same time, the forecast for silver is even more surprising. It can reach up to $ 100 per ounce, which means that the price of silver in the Indian market can be between Rs 2.8 lakh to Rs 3.3 lakh per kg. If the situation of shortage in supply and demand remains the same, then it will not take long for these prices to become a reality.
