Gold and silver prices continued their downward slide on Monday, extending a three-day losing streak that has surprised many traders. Despite recent optimism in global commodity markets, the latest movement suggests growing caution among investors amid shifting global cues.

Prices of precious metals have been dipping for the past three days after showing strong optimism earlier in the gold market.

<h2>Gold rates today</h2>

Gold is currently hovering around Rs 1,22,802, down 0.61 per cent. The metal is Rs 760 lower today, compared to the previous close of Rs 1,23,561 on MCX.

Gold’s sharp downward trend has drawn investor attention, with many waiting for a deeper fall even as experts see the decline as a buying opportunity — so is this the right moment to enter?

According to market experts, gold and silver prices are expected to remain highly volatile this week as optimism around the end of the U.S. government shutdown boosts investor sentiment and reshapes expectations for the Federal Reserve’s next rate decision.

<h2>Gold rate in USD</h2>

In the international market, gold is trading around $4,068.75 at 7:20 pm, down 0.36 per cent.

Prices have experienced an increase since November 14, 2025, but they still are quite low, which is a sign of a positive sentiment prevailing in the precious metals market.

<h2>Silver down by 1.1 per cent</h2>

Silver prices also witnessed a major fall of Rs 1,716, sliding 1.1 per cent today. The white metal recorded an intraday high of Rs 1,56,690 and an intraday low of Rs 1,53,310.

Silver remains nearly Rs 17,000 below its all-time high of Rs 1,70,415. Internationally, it is trading at $50.65 up with0.04 per cent.

<h2>Expert's opinion</h2>

Experts believe that geopolitical factors and expectations of Fed rate cuts are contributing to today’s fall in both gold and silver.&nbsp;

However, with the onset of the wedding season, analysts expect demand to rise again.&nbsp;

Many believe gold prices could potentially cross their lifetime high of Rs 1,26,751 in the coming days.

The dream of buying a home in India is undergoing a major shift, with buyers now placing greater emphasis on the country’s macroeconomic conditions rather than home loan interest rates. The Sentiment Index Survey for Q3 2025, released by real estate consultant, Knight Frank India.

The survey highlights the fact that GDP growth, Sensex movement, and general economic stability have become the main determinants of homebuying decision-making nowadays.

According to the report, 48 per cent of homebuyers believe that the state of the national economy over the next six months will be the biggest influence on their property purchase decisions. This marks an important departure from earlier trends, where interest rates largely dictated buyer sentiment.

<h2>Stock market, GDP becoming key indicators</h2>

According to the survey, now a day’s consumers are very much aware of the market and financially educated, they even keep monitoring the stock market and GDP growth as some prices get more or less set in real estate. This transition not only reflects but also reinforces the notion that the economic health of the area is a vital factor for the long-term property value.

In contrast, only 16 per cent of respondents still consider home loan interest rates as the most decisive factor when buying a home. This suggests that despite fluctuating or even higher borrowing costs, buyers are willing to make a purchase if they feel confident about the country’s economic direction.

<h2>Income stability is buyers' second priority&nbsp;</h2>

The personal financial security usually steps in as the very next biggest deciding factor following the national economic performance. About 21 per cent of homebuyers said that income stability and job security would guide their choice to enter the market. The survey adds that if individuals feel secure about their employment and growth prospects, they are prepared to take the risk of purchasing a home—even in a high-interest-rate environment.

<h2>Key factors influencing home purchases</h2>

<ul>
	<li>National Economic Situation: 48 per cent</li>
	<li>Income or Job Stability:&nbsp;21 per cent</li>
	<li>Home Loan Interest Rates:&nbsp;16 per cent</li>
	<li>Property Price Rise:&nbsp;15 per cent</li>
</ul>

<h2>Market sentiment remains positive</h2>

Despite cautious financial behaviour, overall market sentiment is strong. The Q3 2025 Current Sentiment Index has a score of 65, which means it is definitely considered optimistic (all scores above 50 are positive). The future confidence is even greater—the Future Sentiment Index is standing at 74, which is a clear indication of very strong buyer optimism for the next six months.

The Knight Frank survey makes one thing clear: India’s homebuyers are increasingly aligning their decisions with economic realities, stock market movements, and personal financial confidence, marking a new era in real-estate behaviour.

Power of Compounding:&nbsp;If you feel your hard-earned money often goes into unnecessary expenses and you wish to build long-term wealth, here’s a smart investment option for you.

By investing a fixed amount every month, you can slowly build a substantial corpus to meet your future financial goals.

It's a long term investment, where you invest an amount every month, on this principal amount an interest is generated every month, based on the time you selected and interest rate.

Lets understand with an example

Suppose you are investing some amount monthly in a SIP mutual fund. Assuming an average return rate of 12 per cent, your target is to generate over Rs 4.1 crore corpus in the long term. Now, can you guess how much amount you have to invest monthly? Let's calculate and find.

<h2>How investing in SIP works</h2>

Total amount to invest in SIP for generating Rs 4.1 crore:&nbsp;

According to the calculations, you will need to invest Rs 15,000 in SIP for at least 29 years to generate over Rs 4.1 crore corpus with expected return rate per annum will be 12 per cent.

<h2>Generate Rs 4.1 crore with Rs 15,000 monthly SIP: Calculating average capital gain</h2>

In terms of capital gain, a total of Rs 3,58,72,054 corpus will be received. It should be noted that this is an expected return, and the actual amount may vary depending on the market conditions.

<h2>Generate Rs 4.1 crore with Rs 15,000 monthly SIP: Final Corpus Received</h2>

So, at the end of 29 years, including the principal investment and capital gain, you will get a total of Rs 4,10,92,054.

<h2>Overall calculation: Become the owner of Rs 4.1 crore after 29 years</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Total Investment Amount:&nbsp;Rs 52,20,000</li>
	<li>Capital Gains:&nbsp;Rs 3,58,72,054</li>
	<li>Total Approx. Return:&nbsp;Rs 4,10,92,054</li>
</ul>

With an SIP investment of 15000 rupees per month, you can earn Rs 4.1 crore rupees after 29 years.

(Disclaimer: Our calculations are projections and not investment advice. Do your own due diligence or consult an expert for financial planning.)

Do’s and don’ts amid rising AQI levels across Delhi-NCR: Key takeaways from latest health advisory

You may have often observed—especially during the festive and wedding seasons—that women traditionally adorn themselves with gold and silver jewellery&nbsp;for special occasions, while men too often wear gold chains or bracelets. Beyond their ornamental value, these precious metals have long been regarded as 'safe-haven assets', offering security and consistent long-term returns.

However, with technological growth and digital innovation in full swing,&nbsp;the gradual shift of physical gold assets to digital forms has opened new avenues for investors.

While digital gold remains unregulated, many investors continue to see it as a convenient and accessible investment option. In case you are&nbsp;contemplating whether physical or digital gold makes a better form&nbsp;of investment in the precious metal, here are insights on the subject to guide you on your journey.

<h2>Physical gold vs digital gold</h2>

SEBI’s stance: Invest through regulated platforms

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has advised investors to invest in gold only through regulated platforms, such as gold ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) or Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs).

Currently, digital gold does not fall under SEBI or RBI regulations, which means investors have limited legal protection should they face any hiccups.

Digital gold’s growing popularity

According to&nbsp;Renisha&nbsp;Chainani, Head of Research,&nbsp;Augmont&nbsp;Gold, the digital gold market has seen remarkable growth in recent years, catching regulatory attention. “Digital gold transactions have risen from 21 million to nearly 1 billion in just 1.5 years, and now make up around 10 per cent of the total gold investment market,” said Chainani, citing NPCI data.

She added that although the market is currently self-regulated, it has built significant consumer trust over the past eight years.

“Within the next 1–2 years, digital gold is likely to come under formal regulation,” she noted.

Physical gold offers security and redressal

While digital gold offers convenience, experts highlight that physical gold provides clearer legal recourse in case of fraud, theft, or dispute.

According to&nbsp;Harshwardhan&nbsp;Roongta, CFP,&nbsp;Roongta&nbsp;Securities, “Digital gold neither comes under SEBI nor under any legal supervision. If any issue arises, you cannot approach SEBI. There’s no clarity on whether it’s fake or authentic.”

He added,&nbsp;“If you buy physical gold and face any fraud or theft, you can file a police complaint or approach BIS against the&nbsp;jeweller. Legal action is possible in such cases.”

Consumer protection in digital gold

On the other hand, Chirag Thakkar, Founder,&nbsp;DigiGold, pointed out that many digital gold investors choose to convert their holdings into physical delivery over time.

“In the last three years, around 60–70 per cent of people who bought digital gold have opted for physical gold delivery,” he said.

He also&nbsp;emphasised&nbsp;that consumer protection exists, even for digital gold.

“If any investor faces issues, they can file a complaint with the Consumer Affairs Department, and necessary action is taken,” Thakkar added.

Convenience vs. regulation

While digital gold scores high on accessibility, ease of transaction, and flexibility in small denominations, physical gold remains the more trusted and regulated form of investment.

Digital gold is available through mobile apps.&nbsp;

<h2>Drawbacks of physical gold</h2>

Security Concerns:&nbsp;Buying physical gold comes with the constant risk of theft or loss. Whether stored at home or in a bank locker, ensuring its safety often involves additional expenses such as locker rent or insurance.

Purity&nbsp;concern:&nbsp;Hallmarked&nbsp;jewellery&nbsp;is quite common, but there are some instances of impurity or adulteration that do take place. Without proper certification or trusted sources, buyers may end up with gold of lower purity than claimed,&nbsp;that affects&nbsp;its resale value.

Lower Returns on Jewellery:&nbsp;Gold coins and bars tend to offer better returns since they are pure and easier to sell.&nbsp;Jewellery&nbsp;involves making charges and wastage costs that are non-recoverable during resale.&nbsp;In results, the actual returns from gold&nbsp;jewellery&nbsp;are often significantly lower compared to the buying price.

Storage and Maintenance Costs:&nbsp;Physical gold requires safekeeping, which may involve bank lockers or home safes&nbsp;that demands&nbsp;maintenance or security costs, adding to the total investment.

Liquidity Issues:&nbsp;While gold is generally considered liquid, selling physical gold quickly,&nbsp;especially&nbsp;jewellery&nbsp;may not always fetch the best market price. Buyers or&nbsp;jewellers&nbsp;often deduct making charges and offer a lower resale rate.

Risk of Fraud:&nbsp;In a conversation with Zee Business, IBJA Spokesperson Surendra Mehta advised buyers that there are instances where the imitation or gold-plated merchandise is put forward as pure gold. Investors can unwittingly become a prey to fraud without the process of testing or certification.

<h2>Drawbacks of having digital gold</h2>

SEBI has come out with a public advisory that cautions investors about acquiring digital gold from the unregulated online platforms.

Here are some factors to consider before buying digital gold:

Purchase limit:&nbsp;Most platforms cap purchases at around Rs 2 lakh.

Higher charges:&nbsp;Making and delivery fees are typically higher than traditional gold purchases.

Limited storage:&nbsp;Free storage is available only for a short duration on several platforms.

Regulation:&nbsp;Since it does not come under SEBI or RBI regulation, investors cannot approach these regulators for redressal in case of fraud, mismanagement, or disputes with the service provider.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has advised investors to invest in gold only through regulated platforms, such as gold ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) and Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs).


Physical or digital gold? 5 key factors to help you make right investment choice

The bullion market continues to glitter as both gold and silver prices witness a sharp rise, driven by strong festive and wedding season demand. After a brief calm, the yellow metal is once again on an upward trajectory, reflecting renewed investor and consumer optimism.

<h2>Gold prices surge on MCX by Rs 660&nbsp;intraday&nbsp;</h2>

The yellow metal has surged by around Rs 1,900 from today’s intraday high of Rs 1,25,839, compared to the previous close of Rs 1,23,970.

Currently, gold is trading around Rs 1,24,890, marking a 0.74 per cent rise on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX).

Market analysts note that the domestic gold market has remained bullish for the past two days, fueled by strong&nbsp;wedding season demand. The demand for gold in the ornamental category typically surges during these months, experts says.

Investors and market watchers&nbsp;are also closely watching for potential buying opportunities of precious metals like gold and silver.

In the international market, gold prices are hovering around $4,138.56, up 0.59 per cent.

Overall, the yellow metal has gained 0.6 per cent today, while over the past 30 days, it has inched up by 0.04 per cent.

Experts, however, caution that despite the current rally, a short-term price correction cannot be ruled out before the next leg of the uptrend. They believe gold and silver prices are likely to “touch the skies” in the coming weeks as seasonal demand peaks.

<h2>Silver prices extend gains</h2>

The white metal reflected gold’s momentum, showing notable strength in today’s session.

Silver is currently trading around Rs 1,55,359, up 1.09 per cent. Intraday, prices rose by Rs 1,668 from yesterday’s close of Rs 1,53,691, hitting a high of Rs 1,56,079.

In the international market, silver is trading near $51.17, registering a 1.62 per cent rise.

During intraday trade, prices climbed 1.56 per cent, though the metal has seen a 2.90 per cent decline over the past 30 days.

<h2>Festive glow to continue</h2>

With the wedding season in full swing and investor sentiment staying positive, bullion experts expect both gold and silver to remain well-supported in the near term. While short-term corrections are possible, the overall trajectory for precious metals appears upward, driven by cultural demand and global market cues.

<h2>Expert Opinion: What lies&nbsp;ahead for gold and silver?</h2>

In an interview with Zee Business Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director, GJEPC, said:

“This calm in the bullion market is temporary, not permanent. People’s positive sentiment toward gold isn’t fading away. The wedding season has, and just like the market rallied before Dhanteras, we’ll likely see another uptick during this wedding season.

After Diwali, demand dipped slightly because investors believed prices might fall further — or if they start rising again, they should buy early. Confidence has dropped about 10 per cent, but it will bounce back strongly during the wedding season.”

Chetan&nbsp;Thadeshwar, MD,&nbsp;Shringar&nbsp;House of&nbsp;Mangalsutra, added:

“It’s quite normal to see a post-Diwali dip in gold and silver prices. Gold has corrected by about 10 per cent , but it’s still holding above Rs 1,20,000 per 10g.

Buyers should see this dip as an opportunity during the wedding season because this calm won’t last long. Even if prices rise slightly in this season, people’s confidence will grow, leading to higher demand — and consequently, higher prices. There’s very little chance of a major price drop.”

After a brief phase of stability, gold and silver prices have once again surged amid strong wedding season demand. On the MCX, gold climbed by Rs 1,900 to touch an intraday high of Rs 1,25,839, while silver rose over 1 per cent&nbsp;to trade near Rs 1,55,359.&nbsp;


Gold and Silver Prices This Evening: Yellow metal futures surges again after pause amid wedding season demand—MCX gold tops Rs 1,25,800

Gold and silver prices increases during the wedding season because of the strong demand for festivities and bridal. However, this year, customers and investors have to be careful when buying jewels to make sure they get the right quality and the real thing because of the high prices of precious metals. 

In a conversation with Zee Business, IBJA Spokesperson Surendra Mehta advised buyers, verifying goldsmith's certification, checking purity, and the jeweler's reputation prior to any purchases.

According to a report by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), around 46 lakh weddings are expected between November 1 and December 14, generating business worth approximately ₹6.5 lakh crore this season. In Delhi alone, around 4.8 lakh weddings are projected to contribute nearly Rs 1.8 lakh crore to the economy.

The report further notes that an average person spends nearly 15 per cent of their total wedding budget on jewellery, making it one of the biggest expenditure categories in Indian weddings.

Here are some key things you must know before buying or gifting precious metals. 

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

During the wedding and festive season, buying&nbsp;jewellery&nbsp;for brides, gifting, and personal wear remains an age-old Indian tradition. From ornate necklaces and bangles to elegant&nbsp;mangalsutras&nbsp;and&nbsp;kadas, gold and silver continue to be the preferred choices. With prices hovering around&nbsp;Rs 1.23 lakh per 10 grams for gold and Rs 1.52 lakh per kilogram for silver, experts say festive demand is driving prices higher.

Before you buy gold and silver jewellery: 10 checks to do this wedding season

India’s gold demand has witnessed a remarkable upswing this year, even as market regulators and SEBI caution investors against unregulated digital gold platforms.

According to industry experts, the surge reflects strong investor optimism and changing preferences among young, tech-savvy consumers who are exploring new-age gold investment avenues.

<h2>Gold Demand Soars: 44% rise in volume, 134% in value</h2>

In conversation with Zee Business Commodity Editor Mrityunjay&nbsp;Kumar Jha, Arti Saxena, Head of Marketing India, World Gold Council (WGC), said India’s gold demand has seen a sharp increase, with AU holdings rising to 83.5&nbsp;tonnes&nbsp;from 58&nbsp;tonnes&nbsp;a year ago&nbsp;— representing a 44&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;surge in volume terms and a 134&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;spike in value terms.

“The biggest reason behind investor optimism is that Gold ETFs offer benefits matching the digital-first lifestyle of young consumers,” she noted, adding that “digital gold has emerged as an effective and convenient investment option.”

SEBI advisory key takeaways&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Investors should invest only through regulated instruments such as Gold ETFs, commodity derivatives, or Electronic Gold Receipts (EGRs)&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Many online platforms are selling gold without any regulatory oversight&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Digital gold is neither registered with SEBI nor falls under any formal legal framework&nbsp;</li>
	<li>SEBI reiterated that gold investments must be made only through registered and regulated entities</li>
</ul>

<h2>What is digital&nbsp;gold?</h2>

Digital gold provides a pathway whereby the investors can purchase, keep and sell gold via the Internet, usually&nbsp;claiming to provide storage in e-wallets&nbsp;for storage and the possibility of transforming the possession into tangible gold at any moment.

Simply, it refers to the online investment in gold process through the use of applications or website,&nbsp;it lets you purchase&nbsp;or&nbsp;own small amounts of the metal that the provider maintains in a safe vault for you.

The ownership is then recorded digitally and you can either sell it back or ask for the physical gold to be delivered to you later, but it should be noted that some of these products are not under regulation and may lack investor protections.

<h2>Expert Caution: Regulation is key</h2>

In conversation with Zee Business Commodity Editor Mrityunjay&nbsp;Kumar Jha, Harshvardhan&nbsp;Roongta, CFP,&nbsp;Roongta&nbsp;Securities, explained that digital gold does not come under SEBI’s regulatory purview.

“If any issue arises, SEBI cannot intervene, since digital gold is an unregulated investment avenue,” Roongta&nbsp;said.

He added, “When an industry is unregulated, it’s best to avoid investing. There are several other regulated gold investment options available.”

While digital gold offers the convenience of digital storage and physical conversion, Roongta&nbsp;cautioned that “whenever money is involved, regulation is essential to prevent fraud or scams.”

He further emphasized that until digital gold comes under RBI or SEBI supervision, it remains a risky choice for investors.

<h2>Digital gold industry welcomes regulation</h2>

Chirag Thakkar, Founder, DigiGold, told Zee Business that in the last three months, 60–70&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;of digital gold buyers have opted for physical delivery of their holdings.

“If SEBI decides to regulate the digital gold sector, the industry would welcome it positively,” Thakkar said.

He added that consumers can already approach consumer courts in case of fraud, and that “the industry is ready to comply with any future regulatory framework.”

<h2>Digital&nbsp;gold&nbsp;transactions&nbsp;surges&nbsp;10x</h2>

Renisha&nbsp;Chainani, Head of Research,&nbsp;Augmont&nbsp;Gold, highlighted that the digital gold market has expanded significantly in recent years, drawing SEBI’s attention.

Citing NPCI data, she said digital gold transactions have risen from 21 million to nearly 1 billion in just 1.5 years, and now make up around 10&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;of the total gold investment market.

“Although not yet regulated by SEBI or RBI, the market is currently self-regulated,” she said.

Chainani&nbsp;added that the industry, now eight years old, has gained strong consumer trust, and “within the next 1–2 years, digital gold is likely to come under formal regulation.”

	<li>Higher charges: Making and delivery fees are typically higher than traditional gold purchases</li>

Gold price has been circling the Rs 1.20 lakh level for the last couple of days, which indicates that investors are rather looking out for a fresh trigger to take the prices up. Market watchers are watching closely whether the metal will bounce back to its peak price of Rs 1,32,294 in the near future.

<h2>How is gold performing globally?</h2>

In the international market, spot gold is currently trading around $3,992.78 per troy ounce, up 0.23 per cent.

In an interview with Zee, Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director of the GJEPC, said:

“People’s positive sentiment toward gold isn’t fading. The marriage season will likely spark another rally, just as we saw before Dhanteras.”

He added that while investor confidence dipped about 10 per cent post-Diwali due to profit-booking and uncertainty, sentiment is expected to bounce back strongly as wedding-related demand picks up.

With prices stabilising and festive demand still strong, experts say gold and silver could see renewed upward momentum in the coming weeks — especially as India enters its peak wedding season.

Gold price has been circling the Rs 1.20 lakh level for the last couple of days, which indicates that investors are rather looking out for a fresh trigger to take the prices up.&nbsp;
