On Wednesday, the futures price of silver once again rose by Rs 8,356 to reach a new high of Rs 2,06,111 per kg. Global silver prices have risen amid signs of supply shortage and expectations of a cut in interest rates by the Federal Reserve next year.

So far this year, the price of silver has increased by Rs 1,18,533 or 135.34 percent, which was Rs 87,578 per kg on January 1, 2025. This means that silver has given more returns than gold this year. The prices of gold have also almost doubled, but it lagged behind that of silver. It is also estimated that the rise in silver prices will continue next year also.

Gold ran away in the global market
There was a rise in the prices of gold and silver at the global level also. Comex gold futures price rose by 0.30 percent to reach $ 4,345.1 an ounce. Jigar Trivedi, senior research analyst at Reliance Securities, said that the price of gold reached above $ 4,320 an ounce. That’s close to the all-time high seen in October. This is because investors expect additional relief measures by the Federal Reserve next year.
