The world’s two biggest powers, America and China, are face to face. On one hand, America seems to be retreating from global forums, while on the other hand, China is rapidly strengthening its hold. This changing balance of power is going to affect not only politics but also your pocket. The biggest question is that where will gold and silver stand in this conflict and at what height can their prices reach by 2050?

Impact of changing global politics

In recent times, America has started distancing itself from many United Nations agencies and multilateral institutions. Earlier this year, America has announced its withdrawal from 66 global organizations. At the same time, China has intensified its efforts to fill this empty space. In late January, President Xi Jinping hosted the leaders of Canada, Finland and Britain in Beijing and talked about a new global order. This changing balance has forced investors to look towards safer options.

Gold is the first choice for safe investment.

Whenever uncertainty increases in the world, gold is considered the most reliable investment. In every period of inflation, war, currency crisis or economic recession, gold has maintained its price. This is the reason why central banks of countries like India, China and Russia are continuously increasing their gold reserves. Even when the dollar weakens, gold shines brighter.

increasing importance of silver

Silver has often been considered a cheaper option than gold, but now the picture is changing. The use of silver is increasing rapidly not only in jewelery but also in solar panels, electric vehicles and electronics. Due to increasing industrial demand and limited supply, a sharp rise in silver prices is expected in the coming years.

What could be the prices by 2050?

According to estimates, by 2050, the price of 24 carat gold in India may reach around Rs 14 to 15 lakh per 10 grams, if there is an average increase of 10 percent annually. Some estimates go even further and put it as high as Rs 40 lakh, if the growth remains high in the long run. Talking about silver, its price is estimated to reach Rs 3 crore to Rs 5 crore per kg.

What is the reason behind such speed?

There are many reasons behind the increase in the prices of gold and silver. The biggest reason is global inflation and the uncertain situation of the dollar. Apart from this, the pace of mining is slow, while the demand is continuously increasing. The policies of central banks are also playing an important role, because they are increasing trust in precious metals instead of paper currencies.

Gold Price Rising: Gold is not just a metal for Indian society, but it is also associated with tradition, faith and auspiciousness. There is a saying in the Indian context that- gold never turns into dust. That is why, people see gold not just as jewelery or metal but also as an investment and permanent asset.

Gold has been considered a traditional financial asset for years. Gold has special importance especially in Indian tradition and Hindu culture. Married women also wear some gold jewelery like Mangalsutra and bracelets for faith, auspiciousness and protection. But in recent times, the continuously rising prices of gold are increasing people’s concerns.

Why did Rishi Brahmangaru say that gold will become the inheritance of the rich?

The shine of gold has always been in the news, but these days due to the continuously rising prices, gold has become a topic of discussion. Gold prices are creating new records every day. But do you know that Rishi Brahmangaru had told years ago that a time would come when gold would be beyond the reach of common people and would remain only the heritage of the rich. Looking at the situation of rising gold prices today, it would not be wrong to say that this statement of Rishi Brahmangaru is now becoming true to a great extent.

Who is Rishi Brahmangaru (rishi brahmamgaru)

Sage Brahmangaru, who wrote Kaal Gyan years ago, is called the great scholar and visionary of South India. Many predictions made by him are gradually proving true, of which the price of gold is also one. Rishi Brahmangaru had said that the price of gold will increase so much that women will start wearing jewelery made of other cheaper items instead of gold.

Even though this may have seemed like a mere fantasy at that time, today’s situation is similar. Buying gold is costing the common people dearly. The rising prices of gold are now affecting marriages, festivals and traditional shopping. Due to inflation, people are now turning to lighter weight or other metal jewellery.

Gold Price- The price of gold continues to rise and is shocking people. Gold red is currently priced at 24 carat – Rs 1,62,100, 22 carat – Rs 1,48,600 and 18 carat – Rs 1,21,610. Please note that prices may vary depending on the city and day.

Gold Price Prediction: Meanwhile, there was some reduction in the prices of gold, so people heaved a sigh of relief. But it is once again predicted to reach record high level.

This is because in the coming time, investors will be in alert mode regarding the decision of the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates in America and the MPC meeting of the Reserve Bank. Apart from this, developments like job and inflation figures in America, peace deal between Russia and Ukraine will also be in focus.

Focus on many big developments

According to news agency PTI, Pranav Mer, Vice President, EBG – Commodity and Currency Research, JM Financial Services Limited, said, “Gold is moving out of the consolidation range as investors are paying attention to manufacturing and services PMI data of different regions, US Jobs data and consumer sentiment. Apart from this, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech on Monday, Russia-Ukraine peace talks. Traders will keep an eye on RBI’s development and RBI’s policy meeting on Friday.

Price increased in international market

Gold futures for February 2026 contract on the Multi Commodity Exchange closed at Rs 1,29,504 per 10 grams on Friday, up Rs 3,654 or 2.9 per cent from last week. At the same time, during the last week, Comex gold futures for December delivery in the international market increased by US $ 138.8 or 3.4 percent and on Friday it closed at US $ 4,218.3 per ounce.

Similarly, fluctuations of rupee against dollar and domestic demand in Indian markets have affected the prices of gold. According to Prathamesh Mallya of Angel One, the prices of precious metals remain high due to the festive season, celebration of weddings and continuous buying of jewellery. He also said that it is expected that central banks around the world will continue purchasing gold in the coming times. Experts say that gold may reach record high levels in the coming time because the demand for safe-haven will remain intact amidst expectations of continuous rate-cuts, weakness of the US dollar and geopolitical uncertainties.

Gold Price Prediction: The prices of gold and silver continue to fluctuate continuously in the domestic future market. On Friday, November 14, there was a tremendous fall in the prices of both these precious metals. Gold futures with expiry of December 5 on Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) had fallen by around Rs 3300 on Friday.

At the same time, silver also slipped by around Rs 6900. In such a situation, the question coming in the minds of investors is whether there will be a rise in the prices of gold or whether its prices will come down. According to a report published in Moneycontrol, gold prices may see a rise in the coming days.

What do market experts believe?

Chetan Mehta, Chairman and MD of Lakshmi Diamonds, told Moneycontrol that in the coming days, central banks and investors globally may continue buying gold. Due to which gold prices are likely to rise.

According to Mehta, after Diwali the prices of gold have increased by 10 to 15 percent and he is confident that the prices of gold will go up further. He has estimated an increase of 10 to 20 percent.

People are exchanging old gold

Giving further information, Chetan Mehta said that this time a special trend is being seen in gold purchasing. People are exchanging old gold in large quantities. According to Mehta, about 40-50 percent of gold sales in Diwali season purchases were from exchange gold. However, he has expected it to be 20-25 percent in the current quarter.

Also, people are investing more money in gold investment than gold jewellery. Mehta said that a change may be seen in the wedding season. Giving information on diamonds, Chetna Mehta said that the demand for small and mid-weight diamonds remains strong. At the same time, there is a decline in the sales of solitaire.

Gold Price: There has been a decline in the prices of gold and silver for the last few days, but the prices are expected to increase once again. Actually, China has abolished tax exemption on purchase of gold. The Finance Ministry here said that from November 1, retailers will not be able to avail Value Added Tax (VAT) exemption on the sale of gold purchased from the Shanghai Gold Exchange, whether it is sold directly or after processing. Due to this decision, amid the increasing demand for gold in China, its prices will increase by three to five percent.

Why was this decision taken?

This decision has been taken at a time when China’s real estate market is sluggish and economic growth has also slowed down. Now, with the removal of VAT on gold, the government’s earnings will increase. However, due to this change, the price of gold in China will increase and it will become expensive for people to buy it. China is the largest consumer of gold in the world. The increase in price will lead to a temporary decrease in demand, which may increase pressure on gold at the global level.

What does the New Testament say?

After the implementation of the new rule, now after purchasing gold from the exchange for investment purposes, refund will be issued by the exchange after taking delivery from the warehouse. However, if the same gold is used and sold in the form of bars or coins, then VAT will have to be paid on it and the exchange will not issue refund. If exchange members buy gold for non-investment purposes, they can claim a refund of 6% VAT paid. Similarly, if a customer buys gold directly from the exchange, then VAT will not be charged on it, but VAT will have to be paid on selling it.

What will be the impact on India?

In the last few months, due to the rapid buying of gold, its prices had reached a record high level. Gold had gone into the ‘overbought zone’. But later, after profit booking, reduction in global tension and decline in domestic demand after the festive season, there has been a sharp decline in the prices, but now due to this decision of China, the prices may increase once again. Its effect can be seen in India also. According to the estimates made by experts, this may lead to a rise of 3-5 percent in the price of gold in the country.

Gold Price Prediction: Since Dhanteras, there has been a continuous decline in gold prices. Whereas before that gold rates remained at record high. In such a situation, the question in the minds of investors and customers is whether they should wait to buy gold or will buying at the current rate be beneficial?

Manish Sharma, AVP of Commerce and Currencies at Anand Rathi and Stock Brokers, says that at present the trend of decline in the prices of both gold and silver may continue. The momentum that was seen during the festive season is now fading.

What could be the investment strategy?

After registering a continuous rise for about nine weeks, the main reason for the fall in prices is the trade progress between India and China and increase in supply in the global market. According to Sharma, due to these reasons investors have started profit booking in the silver market. From August 22 to Diwali, a tremendous rise was seen in both gold and silver. However, after the trade tension between America and China subsided, investors have currently distanced themselves from buying gold as a safe-haven asset.

The two-day policy meeting of the US Federal Reserve (US Fed) will end on Wednesday, after which a 25 basis point cut in interest rates may be announced. However, market experts believe that this move will not have a major impact on gold prices, but the statements and comments of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell may affect the strategy of investors.

Expert advice

Earlier, US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant had said that a trade deal could be discussed during the possible meeting of US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping this week. Due to this, the inclination of investors is currently inclined towards the stock market.

Market experts believe that the short-term correction in gold may continue. However, it may be beneficial for long-term investors to start buying gradually at the current level, because by the end of the year, the fall in the dollar index and geopolitical instability may once again support gold.

Gold Price Outlook: There has been a huge fall in the prices of gold and silver today. Today, on the day of Chhath Puja, the price of gold has fallen by Rs 1600 on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). A fall in the price of silver was also seen on MCX on Monday. On October 27, silver with expiry of December 5 fell by Rs 4,560 or 3 per cent in early trade to Rs 1,42,910 per kg, which is Rs 1400 less than the previous close. The price of gold is expected to fall further in the coming days.

Will the price of gold fall further?

Manav Modi, Senior Analyst, Commodity Research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited, says that there is a possibility of a downward trend in gold prices in the coming days. There has been a strong rise in the price of gold for the last few months. After recording its biggest weekly gain in five years last week alone, gold prices are softening. At the same time, after the tremendous rise in the beginning of the year, the price of silver also fell by more than 5 percent in just one session amid profit booking by investors. Now the question arises that why has the price of gold suddenly started falling?

Why did gold suddenly become cheaper?

First of all, the geopolitical tension has reduced to some extent due to the possibilities of ceasefire between Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas. Apart from this, investor anxiety has reduced amid expectations of a trade deal between America and China.

US President Donald Trump said during the ASEAN conference in Malaysia on Sunday that “we are going to make a good deal with China.” This week he is also going to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping. On one hand, the tension between America and China seems to be gradually reducing.

On the other hand, after gold reaching a record high of $ 4400 per ounce on COMEX and the price of silver also increasing by more than 85 percent, profit booking is now taking place. Apart from this, the market has fallen sharply due to panic selling due to margin calls and strong dollar index.

Talking to Business Today, Navneet Damani, Commodity Researcher, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited, says that now the price may fall by another 5-6 percent. That means gold can become cheaper by Rs 6000-7000.

Gold and Silver Price Prediction: Gold prices are continuously touching new heights. At present, gold is trading at the level of Rs 1,30,000. However, despite this there is no dearth of investment in gold and silver. The sale of gold and silver worth more than Rs 60,000 crore on Dhanteras is proof of this. Investment on gold is also yielding continuous profits.

200% return in 5 years

In October 2020, its price was Rs 47,000 per 10 grams, which has now reached Rs 1.30 lakh. That means it has given returns of almost 200 percent in 5 years. From last Diwali till now, gold has given returns of up to 60 percent. However, so far this year the price of gold has increased by Rs 54,700. On December 31, 2024, the price of 10 grams of 24 carat gold was Rs 76,162, which has now become Rs 1,30,840. That means it has given approximately 70 percent return.

The price of gold and silver will increase

Experts believe that by the next Dhanteras, the price of gold can reach Rs 1.60 lakh per 10 grams. So far this year, gold has given returns of more than 70 percent. British bank SSBC has also estimated that the price of gold is expected to reach $5000 by the year 2026. If seen from this perspective, its price in India will be Rs 1.50 lakh per 10 grams. If it crosses 5000 dollars, the price can reach 1.60 lakhs. Now it has reached close to Rs 4500 per ounce. Not only SSBC but Bank of America has also increased the target price for gold to $5000.

Brokerage Motilal Oswal has estimated that by 2026, the price of silver in the country may reach Rs 2.4 lakh per kg, which is about 46 percent more than the current level. With this, global prices will strengthen to $70 per ounce by 2027. The brokerage expects silver to trade around $75 an ounce globally in 2026 and strengthen to around $77 an ounce by 2027. Silver prices will increase due to reduction in global supply and strong industrial demand.

Gold Price Prediction 2026: This year, there has been a tremendous rise in the prices of gold. The price of gold has increased by about 61 percent on an annual basis, due to which it has proved to be the option that gives the highest returns to investors compared to shares, bonds and other investment instruments. However, now the question is being raised in the market whether this rise will continue in the coming time or there will be a decline in gold prices.

analysts estimate

According to ANZ Bank, there may be a huge fall in gold prices next year. The main reasons for gold reaching record levels this year are believed to be geopolitical tension, economic uncertainty, weakness of the dollar and possible cut in US interest rates. Spot gold touched an all-time high of $ 4,225.69 an ounce and then rose 0.4 percent to $ 4,224.79.

Whenever there is uncertainty or crisis in the global markets, investors increase investment in gold as a safe asset. According to the ANZ report cited by Reuters, gold prices may reach $ 4,400 an ounce by the end of this year, while by June 2026 it may go around $ 4,600. However, after this, there is a possibility of a big fall in prices in the second half of next year.

advice for investors

According to the ANZ report, investors will still continue to be attracted towards gold due to factors like political instability, tariff disputes and geopolitical tensions. The report also estimates that silver prices could reach $57.50 an ounce by mid-2026. However, if the stance of the US Federal Reserve (US Fed) becomes tougher or the US economy continues to perform better than expected, then the opposite effect may be seen and gold prices may fall.

Gold Price Outlook: Amidst the increasing tension between America and China and the possibility of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates again by the end of this year, gold has reached a record high level. Gold has currently reached a new peak of $ 4,185 per ounce.

After all the ups and downs during trading on Tuesday, there was a rise in spot silver, which reached its all-time high level above $ 53.54 an ounce. Gold is moving rapidly. It has given returns of more than 50 percent in the first 10 months of the year. Reports show that this year alone gold has reached its all-time high level more than three dozen times.

gold going through historical period

The surprising thing is that the demand for gold has remained stable for the last 15 years and there has been no significant reduction in the supply. Yet gold is going through a phase never seen before. Experts have given many reasons for this such as its continued purchase as a safe investment.

In the last three years, central banks around the world have made indiscriminate purchases of gold. Apart from this, Trump’s tariff policy has also contributed to this increase. On top of that, geopolitical tensions have also led to a rise in the price of gold. All these things together have affected the price of gold. Amidst all this, the demand for gold has increased by 15 percent since 2010. For the last 15 years, countries like India and China have also been net buyers of gold.

Gold going out of reach of common man

Gold prices in India are increasing at a rate that is quadrupling day and night. In the 2010s, one had to spend Rs 40,000-50,000 for 10 grams of gold. At the same time, now 10 grams of gold has crossed Rs 1,30,000. In just ten months, gold has reached Rs 1,30,000 from the level of Rs 77,000 per 10 grams.

This year alone, the price of gold in the country has increased by 51 percent. For this, the purchase of gold by central banks cannot be denied. In the last three years – 2022, 2023 and 2024 – central banks have purchased more than 1,000 tonnes of gold every year. According to the World Gold Council report, by May 2025, central banks officially have 36,344 tonnes of gold.

Central banks’ purchases will continue

The recent World Gold Council report has also revealed that this purchase of gold by central banks is going to continue. Since almost one-fourth of the current gold reserves in the world are being purchased by central banks, the supply for jewelery and investment is now decreasing.

At the same time, the sharp fall in the US dollar this year has also given a boost to it. Gold generally has an inverse relationship with the dollar. When the dollar is strong, gold prices fall and when the dollar is strong, gold prices fall. The US dollar has fallen by 11 percent so far this year, which is the biggest fall since 1973 i.e. in 52 years. According to New York Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the dollar index is currently at 98.57. Looking at all these things, there seems to be little possibility of the price of gold falling in the recent times.
