Gold and silver prices surge in 2025 due to US interest rate cuts, rising industrial demand, and increased investments, impacting inflation and market dynamics globally and in India.
Massive change in gold and silver prices
New Delhi: Gold prices have broken many records in 2025, and the upward trend is still continuing. Especially in the last 9 months, gold has become expensive by about Rs 34,378 per 10 grams. On September 16, the price of gold crossed the level of ₹ 110,540 per 10 grams, touching its all-time high.
According to the India Bullion and Jewelers Association (IBJA), gold has increased from ₹ 109,511 to ₹ 110,540. Similarly, the price of silver has also increased from ₹ 128,989 per kg to ₹ 129,600.

Global economic instability and the possibility of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve have led to an increase in the demand for gold. Gold prices on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) have reached ₹110,180 per 10 grams. According to the World Gold Council, the price of gold in the international market is $3,679 per ounce, which was earlier $3,685 per ounce.
The dollar is weakening due to the possibility of interest rate cuts in the next US Federal Reserve meeting. The weak dollar gives global support to precious metals like gold and silver, which leads to a rise in their prices.
Demand for silver has also increased, especially due to growing industrial needs in sectors such as electric vehicles and solar energy. Silver prices on MCX have reached ₹129,600 per kg. Moreover, analysts believe that there is a 96.4% chance of a 25 basis point cut in interest rates in the upcoming US Federal Reserve meeting, which could further boost silver prices.
Major cities see gold price rises
Investment in gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in India also increased by 67% in August 2025. Net investment of $233 million was made in this month, which is more than $139 million in July.
Gold became an important reason in the inflation figures of August. The annual price increase of up to 40% in gold has increased inflation by about 43 basis points. Due to this, there has been an increase in the inflation rate.
