Gold Price: When the world moves towards uncertainty, man looks for trust. Whether it is economic instability, war or fear in the market, one thing is always considered safe: gold. Something similar has been seen today on 23 June, when the growing tension between the US and Iran and the war situation with Israel have shaken the global markets.
Gold Price: Gold gave a 1200% return in 20 years, still on top
Those who considered gold just a jewel years ago, today they are now realising that it is a security for the future. In the last 20 years, i.e. from 2005 to 2025, there has been a tremendous jump in the prices of gold. In the year 2005, when gold was at the level of just ₹ 7,638 per 10 grams, it has now crossed ₹ 1 lakh per 10 grams. This is an increase of about 1200 per cent, which shows that this metal is not just a decoration for jewellery, but a true identity of wealth.
Not only this, since the beginning of the year 2025, gold has seen an increase of up to 31 per cent, and this makes it one of the top-performing assets of this year. Every time the global crisis has deepened, gold has become even stronger.
Silver also showed strength, above ₹ 1 lakh/kg for three weeks
While gold is shining, silver is also not far behind. Silver has been trading above the level of ₹ 1 lakh per kg for the last three weeks. From 2005 to 2025, silver has registered a gain of about 668 per cent. Investors are now beginning to understand that this ‘white gold’ can also create a balance of both safety and returns in their portfolio.
Gold Price: From Delhi to Mumbai, Know today’s latest rates
Gold and silver prices are touching new heights in different cities of the country even today. The price of gold in Mumbai was ₹ 99,130 per 10 grams, while in Delhi it was recorded at ₹ 98,960. In Chennai, gold is at its highest level of ₹ 99,420 per 10 grams. If we talk about silver, its price in Chennai has reached ₹ 1,06,890 per kg, which is the most expensive price of the day.
Similarly, the prices of gold and silver are also high in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Kolkata. In Bengaluru, gold was at ₹ 99,210 per 10 grams and silver was at ₹ 1,06,670 per kg. In Hyderabad, gold was at ₹ 99,290 and silver was at ₹ 1,06,750 per kg. In Kolkata, gold is trading at ₹ 99,000 and silver at ₹ 1,06,440.
These figures indicate that no matter where you are in the country, investors have become more aware and cautious about gold and silver. Now these metals are being seen not only during the festival or wedding season, but also as a strategic investment.
The shadow of war and the search for safe investment
The biggest reason for the increasing demand for these metals at present is the threat of war in the Middle East. The bombing between the US and Iran and the role of Israel have increased global tension. Due to its impact, the stock market is shaken, crude oil prices are rising, and investors’ confidence is wavering. At such a time, it is gold and silver that have emerged as the strongest option for safe investment.
Gold Price: Important information for retail buyers
If you are thinking of buying gold or silver from the market today, then keep one important thing in mind that in the retail market, you have to pay making charges, GST and other taxes on top of the prices of these metals. Therefore, you may have to spend more than the prices shown on websites and news sources.
Gold and Silver: Not just an investment, but a symbol of trust
In a country like India, where gold and silver have not been limited to jewellery for generations, but have been considered symbols of respect, security, and stability, the increasing attraction to these metals today is nothing new.
