- Geopolitical – Due to Russia-Ukraine war and increasing tension in the world, investors are buying gold considering it as the safest investment.
- reserve Bank – Countries like China are filling their reserve banks with gold, they are purchasing more than 900 tonnes in a year, hence the prices are going up.
3 main reasons for the rise in silver
- Industrial Demand – Heavily used in solar, electronics and EV, silver has now become an essential raw material and not just jewellery.
- Trump’s tariff fear – American companies are accumulating huge stocks of silver, prices rose due to reduction in global supply.
- Manufacturers in competition – Everyone is already buying due to the fear of production stoppage, which is why the rise will continue in the coming months also.
Prices may increase further in the coming days
Ajay Kedia, Director of Kedia Advisory, says that the demand for silver is currently on a rise which is expected to continue further. In such a situation, silver can go up to Rs 2.75 lakh this year. If we talk about gold, its demand also remains strong. In such a situation, by the end of this year it can cross Rs 1.50 lakh per 10 grams.
Keep these 2 things in mind while buying gold
1. Buy only certified gold: Always buy certified gold bearing the hallmark of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This number can be alphanumeric i.e. something like this – AZ4524. Hallmarking shows how many carats the gold is.
2. Price Cross Check: Cross-check the correct weight of gold and its price on the day of purchase from multiple sources (such as the website of India Bullion and Jewelers Association). The price of gold varies according to 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat.
4 ways to identify real silver
- Magnet Test: Real silver does not stick to magnets. If it sticks then it is fake.
- Ice Test: Place ice on silver. Ice will melt much faster on real silver.
- Smell Test: Real silver has no smell. Fakes may smell like copper.
- Cloth Test: Rub the silver with a white cloth. If a black mark appears then it is real.
