Gold and silver prices declined on the final trading day of 2025 because of New Year profit bookings. However, gold and silver reached historic prices this year.

Gold update

Today, the gold rate fell slightly after yesterday’s rise due to profit booking by many traders; it’s now below $4,330 per ounce. Gold has made a record as the best yearly performer in 2025; over 40 years, it has gone up more than 65% this year.

The gold price started to rise after the global tariff announced by Donald Trump, followed by ongoing geopolitical risk, including Russia-Ukraine issues and tension between the US and Venezuela, which made gold a safe-haven metal.

Gold prices were also supported by the Central Bank buying; many investors are investing in ETFs and are following a federal rate cut, and even though we don’t know when, this expectation keeps the gold price high.

In India, the rate of 24k gold is ₹13,522 per gram, which is lower by ₹98; the 22k gold rate is ₹12,395 per gram, which is decreased by ₹90; and 18k is ₹10,142, down by ₹73.

Silver Update

Silver price has also dropped more than 5%; it is now around $72 per ounce after reaching an all-time high of $82. As we know, this fall is also mainly because of profit booking. Silver also made history as the best-performing precious metal in 2025, jumping over 150% this year. Silver is treated as one of the important metals and critical minerals in the US. Silver is supported by industrial demand, tight supply, and more investors. The Fed rate cut is also supporting silver. Experts believe the silver price may stay strong in 2026.
