Why Are Prices Rising?

Ajay Kedia, Director of Kedia Advisory, attributes the surge to tariff uncertainties in the U.S. and persistent geopolitical tensions, which have strengthened safe-haven demand for gold. Analysts predict that prices could climb further, potentially reaching ₹1.04 lakh per 10 grams this year. Silver may touch ₹1.30 lakh per kilogram in the same period.
