What do experts say?
According to Jatin Trivedi, Vice President – Research Analyst (Commodities and Currency), LKP Securities, the market is currently very volatile due to decline from record highs, increased margins and profit-taking. Commodity expert NS Ramaswamy believes the recent fall in gold and silver was a natural ‘shakeout’ after excessive rally. He says the strengthening dollar triggered some selling, but there is still a strong bullish case for gold. This is being supported by continued buying from central banks, geopolitical risk and demand for portfolio diversification. According to Ramaswamy, central banks bought about 230 tonnes of gold in the fourth quarter of 2025, and the purchases are expected to exceed 800 tonnes in 2026. He believes that after overcoming the current ups and downs, gold can again reach new highs this year.
Meanwhile, Ramaswamy attributed the sharp fall in silver prices to increased margin requirements, which forced traders with leveraged positions to sell their holdings. According to him, silver may trade in the range of $72 to $78 right now, and unless it moves strongly above $80, there is no possibility of a major rally. Apoorva Seth of Samco Securities says that despite sharp fluctuations, the long-term trend of gold remains upward, and it is still making higher highs and higher lows. He believes that strong investors are buying every dip and estimates that gold may stabilize in the range of ₹1.32 lakh to ₹1.80 lakh per ten grams in the coming months.
