Why invest in gold
Gold is widely regarded as a safe and dependable investment option. It serves as a strong hedge against inflation and helps stabilise portfolios during periods of economic uncertainty. Its long-term value and liquidity make it a preferred choice among investors.
Why invest in silver
Silver remains an attractive investment due to its dual role as a precious and industrial metal. It continues to see strong demand in India’s jewellery market, while limited availability is putting pressure on supply. With prices expected to rise over time, silver offers potential returns and remains more affordable than gold for many investors.

Spot gold fell 1.7% to $4,876.12 per ounce by 0402 GMT, slipping from a near one-week high touched earlier in the session. Meanwhile, US gold futures for April delivery also declined 1.1% to $4,896.30 per ounce. Spot silver also slumped 12.4%, falling to $77.09 an ounce.
In the Asian market, silver plunged by as much as 15%, while gold fell up to 3.5%, marking a sharp reversal after two days of recovery from a historic market sell-off that began on Friday.
The precious metals came under pressure because of a global sell-off in technology stocks that spread to Asian markets as investors grew increasingly nervous about high valuations and heavy spending on artificial intelligence. As risk aversion rose, investors cut back on exposure across markets.

Gold, silver rates today LIVE updates: What is pressuring gold prices? Explained
Gold, silver rates today LIVE updates: The US dollar got a boost after the nomination of Warsh, helping it gain momentum in the markets, according to KCM chief trade analyst Tim Waterer. He said the recent sharp swings in prices have made traders more cautious about investing in gold.
On Thursday, the dollar climbed to a near two-week high, which made gold, priced in dollars, costlier for buyers using other currencies, adding pressure on prices.
Market sentiment has weakened across asset classes, including precious metals, cryptocurrencies and regional equities, OCBC strategist Christopher Wong said. He noted that losses are feeding into one another, especially in thin trading conditions, worsening the overall sell-off.
