New Delhi. Gold and silver have currently reached record highs and the biggest question among investors is whether to buy at the current levels or wait for some time. Cut in interest rates in America, weak dollar and softening of bond yields have strengthened both these precious metals. At the same time, investors in the market remain cautious about the US economic data and the next step of the Federal Reserve.
Gold and silver included in the strongest rise of 2025
According to market analysts, 2025 has been a great year for gold and silver. This year, gold has shown a tremendous rise of about 60 percent and silver has shown a tremendous rise of almost 100 percent. This is the reason why gold and silver remain in the eyes of investors even in 2026. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold was seen trading around Rs 1.35 lakh per 10 grams, while silver reached near Rs 1.97 lakh per kg. Despite the recent fluctuations, the trend of both the metals still remains positive.
Impact of Fed rate cut and weak dollar
Commodity market experts say that the 25 basis point cut in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve has given direct support to gold and silver. Along with this, due to the weakening of the dollar index, the trend of investors has increased towards safe investments. Silver made new records in both domestic and international markets, although profit-booking was also seen at upper levels. According to experts, volatility may persist in the near future, but prices are likely to find support at important support levels.
There is still confidence in gold’s rise
Experts associated with the bullion market believe that gold has been successful in staying above the strong breakout zone. In the international market, gold has formed a strong base at higher levels, due to which the bullish trend continues. Market experts say that as long as gold remains above its important support level, there is no threat to its long-term rise. This is the reason why investors are still considering gold as a safe option in an uncertain global environment.
speed of silver is faster than gold
In this bullish period, silver has once again performed better than gold. Industrial demand, increasing use in green energy sector and weak dollar have given strong support to silver. Even in the domestic market, silver remains in a strong bullish phase. Experts believe that if the prices remain above its support level, then silver may touch higher levels in the coming time, although sharp fluctuations are possible in between.
What strategy should investors adopt
Experts are of the opinion that it would be wiser to invest in a phased manner rather than making a lump sum investment at the current high levels. Long-term investors can make limited purchases on every dip, while short-term investors should remain cautious keeping in mind the volatility. Further US economic data, movement of dollar and signals from central banks will decide the direction of gold and silver. At present, precious metals continue to shine in investors’ portfolios amid strong global cues.
