Market Drivers

According to Prithviraj Kothari, Managing Director at RiddiSiddhi Bullions Ltd., both gold and silver remain in a structurally strong uptrend, supported by geopolitical uncertainty, elevated global debt, and expectations of accommodative monetary policy. Kothari expects gold to move towards $5,450-5,600 in the near term, with dips likely to attract strategic buying rather than aggressive selling.
Silver Outlook
Kothari also noted that silver is benefiting from both monetary and industrial tailwinds, with a persistent multi-year supply deficit and strong demand from solar, EVs, and AI infrastructure. He expects silver to move towards $100-105 levels once it sustains above $90.
Gold and Silver Outlook
While short-term volatility will remain high due to geopolitical headlines and US economic data, the broader bias for both metals stays constructive, with corrections likely to be shallow and temporary. Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, expects gold to hold firmly above $5,000 support band, while a sustained breakout above $5,400-5,600 could open the path toward fresh record highs.
Investor Takeaway
Investors should be aware of the potential for gold and silver prices to continue their rally in response to market volatility.
