News Synopsis

Silver prices are witnessing an unprecedented surge globally and in India. While silver has crossed the $93 per ounce mark in international markets, prices in India have surged past ₹3 lakh per kilogram, creating a new record. Gold prices have also touched historic highs in Delhi, driven by strong safe-haven demand amid global uncertainty and tariff-related concerns. Analysts believe the rally in precious metals may continue in the coming days.

Silver Prices Surge Globally and in India

Silver prices are on a sharp upward trajectory worldwide. In overseas markets, silver has crossed $93 per ounce, while in India, prices have surged beyond ₹3 lakh per kilogram.

In the morning session, silver crossed the ₹3 lakh mark on the futures market. Later in the evening, reports from the Delhi bullion market also confirmed silver prices touching the same milestone. Notably, silver prices have already risen by more than ₹63,000 per kg in January alone.

Gold Prices Touch Record Levels

Gold prices in Delhi have also reached record highs. Market experts believe gold could soon approach the ₹1.5 lakh per 10 grams level in the coming days.

So far this month, gold prices have surged by over 6.5%. Analysts attribute the rally to increased investor interest in safe-haven assets, largely driven by tariff-related concerns linked to former US President Donald Trump’s trade policies. Both gold and silver prices are expected to remain firm in the near term.
