Jagran correspondent, Bareilly. While the sharp rise in the prices of gold and silver in the bullion market in the last one week has made investors happy, it has also increased the concern of common buyers. People who are planning to buy gold and silver on wedding and other auspicious occasions are worried about the rise in the market.
If we look at the market data, on December 20, 24 carat gold was Rs 1,34,000 per 10 grams and silver was Rs 2,00,000 per kg. By December 27, gold increased to Rs 1,44,500 per 10 grams and silver to Rs 2,60,000 per kg. In this way, in just one week, the price of silver jumped by almost 30 percent, while a rise in gold was also recorded.
Due to this shocking rise in the bullion market, people buying for weddings and auspicious functions are in a dilemma. On the other hand, those who had invested earlier seem to be satisfied with the current price. Market experts believe that due to global economic uncertainty, inflation and increasing demand for safe investments, this rise in precious metals may continue further.
Along with this, there is also talk of price increase due to industrial use of silver. According to renowned bullion businessman Sanjeev Autar Agarwal, investment in gold and silver not only gives better returns but is also considered safer than other investment options.
Due to this, the number of investors in this sector has increased rapidly. Due to this, unprecedented growth is being seen in the market in recent times, which is likely to continue in the coming new year 2026 also. Overall, the rising prices of gold and silver have increased the volatility in the market.
