New Delhi, December 23, 2025: Amid global economic turmoil and uncertainty, gold and silver prices in the domestic market have surged to all-time highs. On Monday, gold prices moved rapidly towards the ₹1.50 lakh mark per 10 grams, rising to ₹1.38 lakh. At the same time, silver prices jumped to ₹2.21 lakh per kilogram.

In the Delhi market, the price of gold rose by ₹1,685 to reach ₹1,38,200 per 10 grams on Monday. Silver prices increased by ₹10,400 per kilogram to ₹2,14,500. In Bengaluru, the price of 22-carat gold climbed to ₹1,27,720 per 10 grams, while silver touched ₹2,21,800 per kilogram.

Investors are increasingly turning to gold, considered a safe-haven asset, due to factors such as a reduction in US interest rates, concerns over the failure of the Trump administration to control the fiscal deficit, and ongoing global economic uncertainty. These factors have driven a sharp rise in gold prices. Meanwhile, increased investment and strong demand from industrial sectors have led to a record surge in silver prices as well.

From January 1 this year to date, the price of gold has increased by nearly ₹54,000 per 10 grams (around 65 per cent), while silver prices have risen by ₹1.26 lakh per kilogram (about 126 per cent).
