Gold is on a historic tear. As of the morning of December 24, 2025, spot gold is hovering just under the 4,500 mark. In India, we’re looking at domestic futures hitting ₹1,38,325 per 10 grams. Or nothing. Let’s be real—seeing gold jump 60% in a single year makes every other “safe” investment look like a piggy bank. Those too.

The thing is, the market is in “flight to safety” mode. Between a weakening Rupee (sitting at 89.46 against the USD) and a major geopolitical powder keg, everyone is piling into bullion.

Silver is the Real Wildcard
While gold is the headline, silver is actually outperforming it in percentage terms.5 It has gained nearly 149% year-to-date, recently smashing past 70 an ounce globally. It’s a structural deficit—we’re using more silver for solar panels and EVs than we can dig out of the ground.
