In Delhi, Jaipur, Lucknow, and Chandigarh, 24-karat gold has reached Rs 1,41,370 and 22-karat gold Rs 1,29,600 per 10 grams. These prices have broken several previous records. Market experts say that this surge in gold prices is due to the wedding season and increased investment demand.
Gold has also reached a new peak in the international market. Spot gold has reached a record level of $4,530.42 per ounce. Global economic uncertainty, confusion regarding interest rates, and the increasing demand for safe-haven investments have supported gold prices. This is directly impacting the domestic market as well.
In the domestic market, gold prices have strengthened by approximately 80.24 percent so far this year. Many analysts believe that the upward trend in gold prices could continue in the coming year. Goldman Sachs has projected that gold could reach $4,900 per ounce by December of next year.

Not only gold, but silver prices have also witnessed a tremendous surge. In the past week, silver has become Rs 37,000 per kilogram more expensive. On December 28, the price of silver was recorded at Rs 2,51,000 per kilogram. This is considered to be the highest level ever.
This year, silver prices in the domestic market have increased by approximately 163.5 percent. In the international market as well, silver has reached a new record high of $75.63 per ounce. Strong industrial demand, increasing purchases as a safe-haven investment, and a shortage in global supply are driving up silver prices.
According to experts, in the current scenario, both gold and silver remain attractive as safe-haven investments. However, it is important to consider price fluctuations and your financial goals before investing.
