Here's what Aksha Kamboj, Vice President, India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA) and Executive Chairperson, Aspect Global Ventures has to say

GOLD

"Gold is currently edging higher from the previous session as consistent buying support sustains the positive momentum. This is despite traders being cautious about volatility in the near term. As prices continue to strengthen after the recent fluctuations, gold seems to be consolidating its positive momentum while maintaining a positive outlook."

SILVER

"Silver is easing slightly from the previous session after a strong rebound. The slight easing in prices indicates some profit-taking at higher levels, but overall market sentiment remains positive due to improving industrial demand trends. Although volatility may continue, silver prices are still holding within a strong range, which indicates that overall momentum is not weak."

The domestic futures price of gold on MCX was trading at Rs 1,61,368 per 10 grams of 24-carat purity as of 12:09 pm IST, up 0.87 percent from the previous close.

The Augmont report, published on February 25, noted estimates a renewed bullish momentum, with prices now likely targeting the next resistance zones at $5,300 (Rs 1,64,000) and $5,400 (Rs 1,67,000).

Gold and silver prices continue their upward trajectory on February 25, amid geopolitical tensions. The domestic futures price of gold on MCX gained Rs 1,614, trading at Rs 1,61,583 per 10 grams of 24-carat purity as of 11:15 am IST, up 1 percent from the previous close. Silver gained nearly 3 percent at Rs 2,80,087 per kilogram.

Motilal's Precious Metals Quarterly Report, published on February 24, noted that gold has entered a structural repricing phase, supported by weakening trust in global monetary systems, rising geopolitical tensions, tightening physical supply, and a clear shift in how countries manage their reserves. The rally is not driven by a single event but by several long-term forces that are reshaping the global financial landscape. "As fiscal stress increases and questions are raised around monetary independence, gold’s role as non-sovereign money has become more important, leading to a structural shift in demand,” said Navneet Damani, Head of Research – Commodities, MOFSL.

Geojit Investments Limited, in its silver report published on February 24, noted that the key forces that lifted silver prices in 2025 continue to support the market in 2026. "Strong industrial demand driven by rapid digitalisation, AI expansion, and growth in data centres and IT infrastructure, is boosting the need for silver-intensive computing and electrical systems. At the same time, tight physical supply, geopolitical instability, U.S. trade policy uncertainty, and concerns over Federal Reserve independence are sustaining bullion’s safe haven appeal. Meanwhile, strength in gold should help cushion downside risks for silver, even as elevated price volatility remains likely in the near term."
