Silver Prices Jump ₹800‑₹1,000 per Kg as Festive Season Begins, Gold Prices Slip Slightly
India's precious‑metal market sees silver prices rise sharply while gold experiences a modest dip as the festive season gets underway.
Silver prices in India have surged by roughly ₹800 to ₹1,000 per kilogram as the country moves into the festive buying season. The increase comes despite a small decline in gold prices, which have edged lower in the same period.
Market analysts attribute the silver rally to heightened demand for traditional jewellery and gifts during the celebrations, while the modest fall in gold is linked to short‑term profit‑taking by traders.
The contrasting movements underscore the sensitivity of precious‑metal prices to seasonal buying patterns, with investors closely watching further developments as the holiday period progresses.
