Gold Price Outlook: Dhanteras is about to come and the same old question is echoing in the market again – ‘Buy gold and silver this time or wait?’. This is because the feat that gold and silver have done in the last nine months has both made investors happy and also scared them a little. The speed of silver which is bought the most on Dhanteras 2025 is like a bullet train! The silver which was 80,000 kg at the beginning of the year has now crossed 1.50 lakh kg. That means there has been almost a double jump.
Why is the demand for gold and silver increasing so much?
Even big brokerage companies are saying that if this pace continues, silver can reach 2.40 lakh kg by 2026. The reason for this surge is not just the demand for worship or jewelery – but also the hunger of the industry. Today, silver is not only used in jewelery but also in mobiles, solar panels and electric cars and this is becoming its real strength.
Gold is also not far behind. The sheen of ‘safe investment’ continues. While silver made a run, gold also rose at a record breaking pace. Today the price of 10 grams of gold has reached between Rs 1.28 to Rs 1.30 lakh – that is, an increase of about 25 percent as compared to last year. According to market experts, by next year it can go up to Rs 1.50 lakh per 10 grams. The reason is clear – dollar weakness, fear of inflation and stock market volatility. People are investing money in such assets which will always shine.
Attention Not every shining metal is gold or silver
The game of fake metals has also increased in the market. While buying gold, definitely check the BIS hallmark and while buying gold and silver coins, keep in mind that not every coin is genuine which has the picture of Lakshmi ji and Ganesh ji. Real silver is not attracted by a magnet and it is natural for a light black layer (oxidation) to appear on it within a short time – this is a sign of its authenticity.
So now the question- what to do this Dhanteras?
If you are buying for puja, gift or long-term investment, then both gold and silver can prove to be beneficial, but if you are buying only for the greed of profit, then it would be wise to wait a bit because after the festivals, there may be a wave of profit booking in the market, due to which the prices are sure to soften a bit. Buying gold and silver this Dhanteras can still be a profitable deal – just keep the right price, right metal and right expectations while buying because their shine will always remain… it is just a question of timing.
