New Delhi: Year 2025 proved to be a historic year for gold and silver investors. While gold gave tremendous returns, silver broke all records. The price of silver has reached around Rs 2.40 lakh per kg. Investors are now thinking whether the white metal would touch Rs 3 lakh-mark? In conversation with TV9, commodity market expert Ajay Kedia gave his detailed opinion on gold, silver and other commodities.
According to Ajay Kedia, the current rise in silver is not only due to speculation but due to strong fundamentals. After Covid, the industrial demand for silver has increased rapidly in sectors like electric vehicle (EV), solar panels, 5G, semiconductor. Along with this, the lack of supply, the purchase of ETFs and the inclusion of silver in the category of critical metal by some countries is also supporting the prices. He said that in the last 3040 years, silver has shown such rally very few times. So far in 2025, silver has climbed to about 140%.
The gold-silver ratio is an important indicator for investors. It tells how expensive or cheaper silver is than gold. Currently, this ratio is around 62, which indicates that silver remains a more attractive investment option than gold at the present time. However, a slight correction is possible after such a huge speed.
Experts believe that considering the current trend, the level of Rs 3 lakh is not impossible. In the international market, silver has broken the key level of $50, and the next big target is considered to be $75. However, he also warned that after such a big rally, time-based correction (Time Correction) may come, so it is better to invest in SIP or phased manner.
Gold cannot be ignored amidst the sparkle of silver. Geopolitical tensions, central bank purchases and dollar weakness have kept gold strong. According to Kedia, gold may see a steady but strong rise of 10-12% in 2026. In the long term, gold price can touch Rs 1.5 lakh-mark.
Not only gold and silver, but also look at other commodities
Experts say that base metals like copper, zinc and aluminum also have tremendous potential in 2026. He described copper as the new gold, because its role in the digital economy and energy transition is constantly increasing.
Ajay Kedia recommends that investors keep 15 to 20% of their portfolio in commodities, especially gold and silver. Investors with low capital can also start investing with Rs 500 through ETFs and SIP. At the same time, he cautioned that before making any investment, consult a SEBI-registered advisor. 2025 has made gold and silver investors prosperous and the commodity sector may remain attractive in 2026 as well. However, investing with prudence, patience and the right strategy instead of investing indiscriminately will be the key to better returns.
