Important Note: Be Careful!

“Gold and silver prices have witnessed an astounding rally in 2025 supported by strong fundamentals like geopolitical tensions, US tariffs on China, rate cut expectations, US shutdown strains, and strong demand by central banks. Going ahead, until and unless there is some ease off in these uncertainties, both the safe haven assets could extend their rally.” – Manav Modi, commodity research analyst at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
