Gold, silver prices fall slightly after reaching all-time highs
Gold and silver prices just slipped a bit after reaching all-time highs during Diwali 2025.
Gold futures reached an all-time high of ₹1,32,294 per 10gm before falling to ₹1,27,008 per 10gm on MCX, while silver fell by ₹7,000 from its peak of around ₹1.70 lakh per kilogram.
Even with this dip, gold is still up over 62% and silver nearly 98% compared to last year, showing how much investor demand has grown during these uncertain times.
Investors' rush to buy gold, silver
Gold and silver are classic go-tos when things get shaky. Their near-record prices this Diwali show people were buying in, hoping to protect their money from inflation and global drama.
The big price jumps over the past year highlight just how much these metals are seen as safe bets when the world feels unpredictable.
What led to the surge in prices?
This recent dip follows a surge driven by worries about a possible US government shutdown and global trade tensions.
Even though prices have cooled a little, ongoing geopolitical risks and hopes for easier US Federal Reserve policies are keeping investors interested—and bullion prices supported for now.
