18 Oct
Summary
- Gold prices hit record high of ₹1,27,320/10 gm
- Silver prices firmly above ₹1,57,300/kg
- Precious metals deliver impressive 20-year gains
On October 19, 2025, the precious metals market is shining brightly, with gold and silver prices reaching new heights. Despite a slight pullback in gold prices on October 17, the yellow metal has since rebounded, with 24-carat gold now priced at a record ₹1,27,320/10 gm. Silver has also held firmly above the ₹1,57,300/kg mark for the past few months.
The surge in precious metal prices comes as India celebrates the auspicious Dhanteras festival. Over the past 20 years, from 2005 to 2025, gold prices have skyrocketed by an impressive 1,200%, rising from ₹7,638 to over ₹1,00,000 per 10 gm. Silver has also gained a solid 668.84% during this period, solidifying its position as a top-performing asset class and a reliable hedge against economic uncertainty.
Looking ahead, the continued strength in gold and silver prices is expected to attract strong investor interest, as the precious metals maintain their status as safe-haven assets in the face of ongoing global economic challenges.
