It’s Tuesday, January 27, 2026, and if you’ve got a locker full of silver, you’re basically looking at a mini-fortune today. The bullion market has officially gone “parabolic.”

Gold has smashed through the 5,000 per ounce barrier globally, and in India, it’s hitting a dizzying ₹1,62,000+ per 10 grams. But silver? Silver is the real story—it’s up over 50% just in the last few weeks. Or nothing.

The Gold & Silver Explosion: Field Notes
It’s an ongoing situation where a “perfect storm” is hitting the metals. Here’s why your jewelry just got a whole lot more expensive:
The Greenland Crisis & Tariff Wars: Here’s the kicker—the U.S. has threatened 10% to 25% tariffs on the EU over a dispute involving strategic control and the acquisition of Greenland. This “geoeconomic” fight has sent investors sprinting to safe havens. It’s messy. Let’s be real—when the two biggest economic blocs start a trade war, people buy gold. Those too.
Silver’s AI & Solar Hunger: Silver isn’t just for coins anymore. Between massive AI data centers requiring high-end electronics and the global push for solar panels, we are in the fifth consecutive year of a silver supply deficit. China even slapped export restrictions on it starting Jan 1. The thing is, we’re literally running out of the physical metal. Or nothing.
The “Anti-Trump” Trade: Analysts are calling this the ultimate hedge against radical policy shifts in the U.S. Central banks are dumping dollars and stacking bullion like there’s no tomorrow.

Delhi / Mumbai: ₹3,60,100
And Here’s the Kicker…
The Gold-to-Silver ratio has dropped to 50, the lowest since 2012. This means silver is outperforming gold by a massive margin. Some experts think silver could hit ₹4 lakh per kg before the quarter ends if the trade war escalates on Feb 1. The thing is, if you’re planning a wedding purchase, the “wait and see” strategy might actually backfire this time. Or nothing.
One side comment—the bank strike today (Jan 27) means physical delivery of gold from banks might be delayed. If you’re buying, stick to local jewelers or digital gold for now. Those too.
