The period of speculation over whether gold prices would cross the ₹1 lakh mark has now come to an end. On the 15th of this month, the price of one sovereign of gold officially crossed ₹1 lakh, creating a new all-time high. At the beginning of this year, market experts had predicted that gold prices would touch ₹1 lakh by the end of 2025, and that prediction has now come true.
In this backdrop, the World Gold Council has forecast that gold prices could approach ₹2 lakh per sovereign by the end of next year (2026). Reflecting this outlook, gold prices have been consistently rising and setting new peaks almost every day.
Two days ago, gold prices surged by ₹170 per gram and ₹1,360 per sovereign. On that day, one gram of gold was sold at ₹12,570, while one sovereign was priced at ₹1,00,560. The upward momentum continued yesterday, with prices increasing by ₹200 per gram and ₹1,600 per sovereign. As a result, one gram of gold rose to ₹12,770 and one sovereign touched ₹1,02,160.
Within just two days, gold prices climbed by ₹2,960 per sovereign, marking a fresh all-time high. The rally continued today as well, with gold prices rising by another ₹30 per gram and ₹240 per sovereign. Currently, one gram of gold is selling at ₹12,800, while one sovereign has reached ₹1,02,400, an unprecedented level.
Silver prices have also witnessed a sharp and historic rise. The day before yesterday, silver prices increased by ₹5 per gram and ₹5,000 per kilogram. Yesterday, prices climbed further by ₹3 per gram and ₹3,000 per kilogram, taking the price to ₹234 per gram and ₹2,34,000 per kilogram.
Today, silver recorded a massive single-day jump of ₹10 per gram, with prices reaching ₹244 per gram and ₹2,44,000 per kilogram. This marks a new all-time high for silver prices as well.
