Gold and silver prices in India continued their upward momentum on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, marking the second consecutive day of gains in the domestic bullion market. After a brief period of stability, both precious metals have once again turned costlier, driven by firm global cues, sustained investor interest, and expectations of long-term strength in commodities.

In the national capital, gold prices edged higher across all purity levels, while silver also registered a fresh rise after remaining stable earlier. The renewed rally has caught the attention of investors as well as retail buyers, especially ahead of the year-end period.

Gold Prices Rise Again After Brief Pause

Gold prices have resumed their upward trend after staying flat for two days. In Delhi, the price of 24-carat gold increased by ₹10 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold also became dearer by ₹10 per 10 grams on Tuesday. Over the last two days alone, 24-carat gold prices have jumped by ₹1,980 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold has risen by ₹1,810 per 10 grams, reflecting strong buying momentum.

Market experts attribute this rise to supportive international trends, a weaker global currency outlook, and continued demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Despite prices being near record levels, gold has maintained its appeal among long-term investors.

Silver Shines for the Second Consecutive Day

Silver prices have also followed gold’s upward path. After staying unchanged for a day, silver prices in Delhi have increased by ₹5,100 per kilogram over the last two days. On December 23, silver was trading at ₹2,19,100 per kilogram in Delhi, up by ₹100 compared to the previous session.

In Mumbai and Kolkata, silver is being sold at similar levels. However, Chennai has the most expensive silver market, where prices have climbed to ₹2,31,100 per kilogram, making it the costliest among major metropolitan cities.

The recent volatility in silver prices reflects a mix of industrial demand, global market movements, and speculative interest.

How High Can Gold Prices Go?

Looking ahead, some global market experts remain extremely bullish on gold’s long-term prospects. Renowned American economist and market strategist Ed Yardeni believes that gold could witness a historic rally by the end of this decade. According to him, gold prices may reach $10,000 per ounce by 2029.

At present, gold is trading close to $4,400 per ounce on the COMEX exchange in New York. If this projection materializes, it would translate into a 127% rise over the next few years. In the Indian context, such a surge could push gold prices beyond ₹3 lakh per 10 grams by 2029, assuming current trends continue.

Yardeni emphasizes that gold continues to play a critical role in investment portfolios. He notes that historical data shows that whenever gold enters a strong rally phase, it often exceeds market expectations by a wide margin.

Conclusion

Gold and silver prices in India are once again on the rise, extending their gains for the second straight day. While short-term fluctuations are expected, the broader outlook for precious metals remains positive due to global uncertainty, strong investment demand, and optimistic long-term forecasts. Investors, however, are advised to monitor market developments closely and take informed decisions based on their financial goals.
