Why are prices moving this way?

Traders said global factors are playing a role in the current momentum. Geopolitical tensions and market uncertainty have pushed some investors toward gold and silver, often seen as “safe haven” assets in times of instability. 

Is this trend new?

Precious metals have been strong through late 2025. Silver in several cities reached elevated price points in recent weeks, reflecting wider demand. And while gold has seen modest volatility, it remains elevated compared with levels earlier in 2025. 

What should buyers and investors watch?

Analysts say prices could stay sensitive to international developments and domestic demand patterns. For consumers looking to buy jewellery or bars and coins, timing purchases may still matter if markets stay choppy.
