Gold and Silver Prices Soar in India Amid Fluctuating Markets
The prices of gold and silver have increased this week according to the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA). The price of 10 grams of 24-carat gold has risen by ₹2,622 to ₹1.44 lakh. Silver, on the other hand, has seen an increase from ₹2.15 lakh per kg to ₹2.23 lakh with a rise of ₹7,247.
This year's fluctuations have made gold ₹12,000 more expensive so far in 2026 compared to December 31, 2025. Meanwhile, silver's price has fallen by ₹7,000 rupees during the same period.
Commodity expert Ajay Kedia believes that gold and silver prices have dropped significantly from their highs, making it a good time for investors to invest. However, he cautions against lump-sum investments. According to Kedia, gold may reach ₹1.60 lakh by the end of the year, while silver could touch ₹2.80 lakh.
