Why are prices moving?

Analysts say global market forces are a key factor. Precious metals often rally when investors seek safe havens amid economic uncertainty. Tighter global monetary conditions and currency shifts can also lift gold and silver prices, though local demand and taxes play a role too.

Is this trend typical?

Price swings are normal for these metals. In recent days, silver has held strong compared with gold in parts of India. Markets have shown a pattern of rising rates around major festivals and occasions, a time when buying activity typically increases.
