Silver Hits Lifetime High of ₹2.71 Lakh per Kg, Gold Climbs to Fresh Record
New Delhi: Silver prices surged sharply in the national capital on Tuesday, rising by ₹6,000 to touch a fresh lifetime high of ₹2,71,000 per kilogram, while gold also climbed to another record level of ₹1,45,000 per 10 grams amid sustained buying interest.
According to the All India Sarafa Association, silver extended its rally for the third consecutive session, gaining 2.3 per cent on Tuesday alone. The sharp rise reflects strong investor demand for precious metals during a period of heightened global uncertainty.
Silver Extends Strong Three-Day Rally
The white metal had already surged by ₹15,000 in the previous session, and with the latest rise, silver has gained ₹21,000, or 8.4 per cent, over the last three trading sessions.
Since the end of December 2025, silver prices have jumped by ₹32,000, marking a gain of 13.4 per cent in less than a month. Market participants said the rally has been supported by a mix of safe-haven demand, technical momentum, and firm global cues.
Gold Scales New Record Levels
Gold of 99.9 per cent purity also edged higher, gaining ₹400 to settle at an all-time high of ₹1,45,000 per 10 grams. In the previous session, the yellow metal had already seen a sharp rise of ₹2,900, underlining strong investor interest.
The sustained rally in gold has been attributed to continued demand for assets considered safer during periods of geopolitical tension and financial uncertainty.
Global Factors Drive Precious Metals Rally
In overseas markets, spot gold eased marginally after touching record highs earlier in the week and was trading at $4,586.49 per ounce. Analysts said some profit-taking emerged after the steep rally, though the broader trend remains firm.
Spot silver traded higher at $85.64 per ounce after scaling a fresh peak of over $86 per ounce on Monday. The strength in global silver prices has further reinforced domestic gains.
Market participants noted that concerns around geopolitical developments, especially involving Iran, along with uncertainty surrounding global monetary policy, have played a key role in boosting demand for bullion.
What Investors Are Watching Next
Analysts said sustained investment demand, a supportive dollar environment, and strong technical indicators continue to lend support to precious metal prices. Attention is now shifting toward upcoming US inflation data, which could provide further clues on interest rate direction and near-term price movement.
Any signs of easing inflation or policy uncertainty are expected to keep gold and silver well supported, while sharper data could trigger short-term volatility.

The record-breaking surge in silver and gold highlights the renewed importance of precious metals as safe-haven assets during times of global uncertainty. With geopolitical risks persisting and investors closely tracking monetary policy signals, bullion prices continue to attract strong interest.
