Gold and Silver Prices Increase by Over Half Percent in India

New Delhi : In the Indian bullion market, gold and silver prices saw a significant rise of over half a percent. 24 Karat Gold was trading at ₹79,330 per 10 grams, up by more than 0.5%, while Silver 999 Fine was trading at ₹92,070 per kilogram, also marking a half-percent increase. This rise follows a general upward trend seen in the precious metals market, fueled by various domestic and global factors.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), the price of gold for the February contract was seen trading at ₹78,990 per 10 grams, up by over 0.5%. Similarly, silver for the March contract was trading at ₹91,980 per kilogram, reflecting an almost 0.6% increase. These price movements suggest a robust demand for precious metals, which could be driven by various market dynamics, including geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns.

Analysts suggest that the recent surge in gold and silver prices can be attributed to a mix of domestic and global economic factors. On the global front, rising concerns over inflation, changes in global interest rates, and geopolitical tensions often result in investors seeking the safe-haven value of gold and silver. Domestically, the festive season in India traditionally sees a rise in demand for gold, further contributing to the price hike.

Gold’s role as a safe investment during times of market uncertainty or economic instability has been well-documented, with investors flocking to the yellow metal as a hedge against potential financial downturns. Silver, while also considered a precious metal, often follows gold’s price trends and is seen as a more affordable alternative for investment.

Looking ahead, market analysts anticipate that the upward momentum in gold and silver prices could continue if global uncertainty persists. Moreover, India’s strong cultural connection to gold, particularly during the wedding season and festivals, is likely to sustain demand for the precious metal in the coming months. Silver, as an industrial metal, also benefits from increased demand in sectors such as electronics and solar energy, further supporting its price rise.
