Silver Futures Cross ₹4 Lakh per Kg in India, Gold Hits Fresh Lifetime High Above ₹1.8 Lakh

 

 

Precious metals are shining brighter than ever in the Indian commodity market. On [latest trading session], silver futures surged past the historic ₹4 lakh per kilogram mark, while gold prices climbed to a fresh lifetime high of over ₹1.8 lakh per 10 grams, sending strong signals about rising global uncertainty and growing safe-haven demand

Silver Breaks Records

Silver futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) rallied sharply, crossing ₹4,00,000 per kg for the first time in India’s trading history. Market experts attribute the surge to a mix of strong industrial demand, especially from the renewable energy and electric vehicle sectors, and safe-haven buying amid global economic and geopolitical tensions.

Silver has also been benefiting from a weaker US dollar and expectations of softer interest rates by major central banks, making the metal more attractive to investors worldwide.

Gold Touches New Lifetime High

Gold continued its unstoppable rally, with prices moving above ₹1.8 lakh per 10 grams, setting a new all-time high in the domestic market. Persistent global risks, including geopolitical conflicts, slowing global growth, and uncertainty around inflation, have pushed investors towards gold as a reliable store of value.

In addition, central banks across the world have maintained strong gold purchases, further tightening supply and supporting higher prices.

Why Are Precious Metals Rallying?

According to analysts, the current rally is being driven by:

Rising geopolitical and economic uncertainty

Expectations of interest rate cuts globally

Strong central bank buying

Increased investor preference for safe assets

Industrial demand boost for silver

What Should Investors Watch Next?

Market participants are now closely tracking upcoming global economic data, central bank policy signals, and movements in the US dollar. Any escalation in global tensions or slowdown in growth could further support precious metal prices.

However, experts advise investors to remain cautious at elevated levels and focus on long-term allocation rather than short-term price movements.

Bottom Line

With silver crossing ₹4 lakh per kg and gold hitting a new lifetime high above ₹1.8 lakh, the precious metals market is witnessing an extraordinary phase. Whether the rally sustains will depend on global cues, but for now, gold and silver continue to reaffirm their status as the ultimate safe-haven assets.
