Gold, Silver Prices Surge In India: Silver Hits ₹1.26 Lakh, Gold Nears ₹1.06 Lakh

Gold and silver prices in India surged sharply on the first day of September, extending the strong momentum seen through August. Silver prices scaled fresh peaks, rising by ₹1,000 to ₹1,26,000 per kilogram, with 100 grams retailing at ₹12,600.

Gold rates climbed by more than ₹30,000 per 100 grams in the last 10 days of August, marking one of the steepest rallies in recent months. Silver, too, reached new highs as demand picked up alongside global price gains.

Shares of silver miner Hindustan Zinc were up 3.6% to ₹434.65 in afternoon trade on Monday.  

The upcoming festive season, with Dussehra and Diwali, is expected to drive consumer demand further and keep prices buoyant.

Futures trading reflected similar strength. At the Multi-Commodity Exchange, gold futures maturing on October 3 traded at ₹104,785 per 10 grams. Silver futures, set to mature on September 5, reached a record ₹122,679, up 1.09%.

Globally, spot gold gained 0.83% to $3,473.2 per ounce, its highest since April. Spot silver rose 2.07% to $40.43 per ounce, the strongest level since 2011. With global rate cut expectations supporting the rally, both gold and silver appear poised for further upside in the near term.
