Silver futures surge to an all-time high of ₹1,09,250 per kg
The global financial landscape often mirrors the geopolitical climate, and recent movements in the commodity markets provide a stark illustration. On June 17, 2025, silver futures on India’s Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) surged to an unprecedented all-time high of ₹1,09,250 per kilogram. This remarkable 2.5% single-day jump, translating to a gain of ₹2,686 per kilogram, underscores a clear trend: escalating investor anxiety driven by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran is fueling a robust demand for safe-haven assets.
The July 2025 silver futures contract opened with significant momentum, pushing past its previous close of ₹1,06,564 per kilogram to reach its intraday peak. This sharp uptick is directly attributable to the desire among investors to mitigate risk during periods of heightened uncertainty. In times of geopolitical turmoil, traditional safe havens like precious metals become particularly attractive, offering a perceived shield against the volatility of other asset classes. The protracted and intensifying hostilities in the Middle East have understandably created an environment where capital seeks refuge, and silver, alongside gold, has emerged as a prime beneficiary.
As the day progressed, silver futures continued to trade strongly, holding firmly above the ₹1,08,900 mark, reflecting sustained investor confidence in its role as a store of value. This surge is not merely a fleeting market anomaly but rather a significant indicator of the depth of concern permeating global financial circles. The conflict between Israel and Iran, with its potential for wider regional destabilization, serves as a powerful catalyst, directing capital flows towards assets historically considered impervious to economic and political shocks.

All That Glitters: The Jewellery Moments Everyone Talked About at the 2026 Golden Globes
From archival diamonds to playful brooches, Hollywood’s biggest night sparkled with fearless jewellery statements
The 2026 Golden Globes didn’t just celebrate cinematic brilliance—it redefined red-carpet glamour. Set against a newly designed red carpet at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the evening shimmered beneath four magnificent Swarovski crystal chandeliers, casting a radiant glow on Hollywood’s finest. But the true spectacle lay in the extraordinary jewellery moments that unfolded as stars stepped into the spotlight.
Teyana Taylor delivered one of the night’s most talked-about looks, pairing her Best Supporting Actress win for One Battle After Another with striking 1940s Tiffany & Co. earrings. The archival diamonds perfectly offset the playful audacity of her custom Schiaparelli gown, proving once again that classic jewels and modern fashion can collide spectacularly.
Zoë Kravitz championed the romantic return of the hair pin, wearing a bespoke creation by Jessica McCormack that felt both intimate and effortlessly chic. Meanwhile, Charli xcx leaned fully into Old Hollywood glamour, completing her custom Saint Laurent ensemble with cascading De Beers diamond strands that echoed timeless screen sirens.
Men’s jewellery continued its powerful rise on the Golden Globes carpet. Colman Domingo stood out with an elegant suite of Boucheron diamonds, styled as ivy-like tendrils flowing over his custom black Valentino tuxedo—an artful blend of couture and craftsmanship. Paul Mescal reaffirmed his love for refined accessories with a Cartier tie pin, while Connor Storrie brought playful elegance with Tiffany & Co.’s iconic Bird on a Rock brooch.
One of the most imaginative jewellery moments belonged to Wicked director Jon M. Chu, who wore two beaded figurative brooches depicting his co-stars and fellow nominees Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Designed by Italy-based embroidery artist Nerd Bead—discovered by Chu on Instagram—the pieces added personality, storytelling and warmth to the red carpet.
Elsewhere, Emily Blunt sparkled in Tiffany & Co., Priyanka Chopra Jonas turned heads in Bulgari, Hailee Steinfeld chose the architectural elegance of Repossi, Claire Danes glowed in Pomellato, Natasha Lyonne dazzled in Chopard, Jennifer Lawrence opted for Swarovski, and Timothée Chalamet continued his refined jewellery streak with Cartier.
At the 2026 Golden Globes, jewellery wasn’t merely an accessory—it was a statement of individuality, creativity and evolving red-carpet expression. From archival diamonds to bold brooches, the night served as a brilliant reminder that fine jewellery remains one of Hollywood’s most powerful storytelling tools
