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.

De Beers Q3 Sales Volume Rises 71% Year On Year On Price Cuts
Performance Remains Weighed Down By A Shift Toward Lower-Value Goods and Ongoing Pressure From Lab-Grown Diamonds
De Beers Q3 total rough-diamond sales volume jumped 71% year-on-year to 9.8M carats. Consolidated volume surged 91% to 8.7M carats, driven by aggressive July price cuts that sparked buyer demand.
​Price Drop Capped Revenue: The average selling price tumbled 45% to $84/carat (price index down 20%). As a result, Q3 consolidated revenue rose only 4% to $731M, while year-to-date revenue dropped 15% to $2.04B.
Production Target Raised: 2026 production guidance increased to 25–28M carats following full acquisition of the Gahcho Kué mine, boosting De Beers’ share of output without adding extra supply to the global market.
Market Pressures: Performance remains weighed down by a shift toward lower-value goods and ongoing pressure from lab-grown diamonds in price-sensitive categories.
Signs of Stability: Anglo American reported stabilizing rough-diamond conditions, supported by improved consumer demand in the US and India and a better-balanced supply-demand landscape.
