Gold and silver prices are trading near their lifetime highs, keeping investors focused on what comes next. After a sharp rally, prices have cooled slightly, but analysts say this is a healthy pause rather than the end of the uptrend.
In the global market, COMEX gold touched a record high of $4,612.70 before easing to around $4,582. According to Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, gold continues to trade well above its key support levels. The earlier resistance zone of $4,500–$4,550 has now turned into a strong base. Continued safe-haven demand, central-bank buying and expectations of supportive global policies are keeping gold strong. If prices move above $4,600, the next target could be $4,700–$4,800.
In India, MCX gold is trading near ₹1,40,780, after touching a lifetime high of ₹1,41,250. Experts say the metal remains in a rising channel, with strong support around ₹1,38,000–₹1,39,000. A breakout above ₹1,42,000 could push prices towards ₹1,45,000–₹1,48,000.
Silver has been outperforming gold, supported by both safe-haven flows and strong industrial demand from solar power, electric vehicles, electronics and AI sectors. COMEX silver is trading near $83 and could move towards $90–$95 if it breaks above $85. In India, MCX silver is trading around ₹2,61,000–₹2,62,000, with strong support near ₹2,55,000.
Experts say the long-term trend for both metals remains bullish, but short-term volatility may increase.
Gold remains a safer, long-term hedge against global uncertainty.
Silver offers higher return potential but comes with greater risk due to sharper price swings.
Instead of chasing rising prices, investors are advised to buy on dips and maintain balanced exposure to precious metals. Patience, not panic buying, is likely to deliver better returns in this phase.
