Gold and Silver Prices Set to Surge in 2025- Gold Could Reach Rs 90000
Gold prices in India surged by 21% in 2024, driven by central bank policies, geopolitical risks, and strong global demand. As of January 1, 2025, gold prices were Rs 78,000 per 10 grams for 24K, with predictions pointing towards a rise to Rs 85,000-90,000 in 2025. While gold outperformed other commodities in 2024, experts recommend a “buy-on-dips” strategy for investors, as prices may consolidate before further gains. Geopolitical tensions and central bank actions will continue to support the demand for gold and silver.
Silver also saw impressive gains in 2024, with prices expected to reach Rs 1.1-1.25 lakh per kg, fueled by industrial and investment demand. Experts like Manav Modi from Motilal Oswal Financial Services maintain a positive outlook for both metals in the medium to long term, forecasting potential price growth even amid market fluctuations. However, while Rs 1 lakh for gold is considered optimistic, extreme economic conditions could push it towards that mark.

MCX Gold, Silver Move North On June US Employment Report
MCX Gold Futures Reclaimed the ₹1.48 lakh Mark
MCX Gold Futures reclaimed the Rs 1.48 lakh mark, hitting an intraday high of Rs 1,48,046 per 10 grams before stabilizing around Rs 1,47,845 (up 1.43%). Spot Gold (Global) surged by 1.5% to trade at $4,185 per ounce, rapidly closing in on the $4,200 level.
MCX Silver Futures zoomed up by Rs 4,457 or 1.91% to trade near Rs 2,37,761 per kg, after touching an intraday high of Rs 2,38,216 per kg. Spot Silver (Global) climbed more than 2.3% to trade comfortably above $62 per ounce.
The primary catalyst behind the bullish reversal was the June US employment report, which indicated a cooling US economy.
Nonfarm Payrolls: The US added just 57,000 jobs in June—the lowest hiring momentum in four months—well below the market expectation of 110,000 jobs.
Unemployment Rate: The rate edged down from 4.3% to 4.2%. However, economists noted that the decline was largely due to a weaker labour force participation rate, which fell to 61.5%, rather than stronger hiring activity.
Sectoral Shifts: Professional and business services (+36,000) and healthcare (+22,000) led job gains, while the leisure and hospitality sector recorded a sharp decline of 61,000 jobs.
