In 2025, gold and silver offer investors a chance to make good profits. The surge in prices seen from the beginning of the year continued till the end of the year. This sharp rise in the prices of both these precious metals made investors rich. According to an Economic Times report, silver was trading at Rs 85,146 per kg in December 2024. This is an increase of about 144 percent compared to the same period a year ago. Gold prices also increased by about 73 percent, attracting investors towards gold and silver. However, now investors are wondering whether this bullish trend in these metals will continue in 2026 or there will be some change in it.
Experts’ opinion on gold and silver in 2026
According to Naveen Mathur, Director, Anand Rathi Share & Stock Brokers, both gold and silver are likely to continue their good performance in 2026. However, the pace of returns is expected to be a little slow. Naveen believes that gold can perform stable given the low interest rates and global conditions. On the other hand, silver may outperform gold in terms of returns due to industrial demand. Meanwhile, 1BJA President Prithviraj Kothari estimates that gold may reach Rs 1.50 lakh to Rs 1.65 lakh in the coming time. A good rise is also expected in silver, whose prices can potentially reach Rs 2.30 lakh to Rs 2.50 lakh.
Reasons for the rise in gold and silver prices
There are several main reasons behind the continuous rise in gold and silver prices. Central banks around the world are continuously buying large quantities of gold, which is maintaining global demand. On the other hand, the demand for silver in factories and industrial sector is continuously increasing. Due to this the prices of both the metals are increasing.
