New Delhi, 2 January. The year 2025 has been historic for gold and silver. During this period, gold gave returns of around 65 percent, while silver delivered over 140 percent returns. With such impressive gains, the question arises: how will precious metals perform in 2026? We spoke to experts for insights.
In an interview with Daily Kiran, Nainesh Pacchigar, Gujarat President of India Bullion Jewellers Association, said that gold and silver gave excellent returns to investors in 2025. Considering global conditions, he believes that the strength in gold and silver prices is likely to continue this year as well.
Elaborating further, Pacchigar mentioned that the current international price of gold is around $4,300 per ounce. He expects it to rise to $5,000 per ounce, indicating a potential increase of $700 per ounce or over 16 percent from current levels.
Regarding silver, Pacchigar estimated that prices may reach $85 per ounce in the near future. Presently, silver is priced around $70 per ounce, suggesting a possible rise of about 20 percent this year.
Talking about the diamond market, Pacchigar noted that demand for lab-grown diamonds worldwide is much higher than for natural diamonds due to their affordability. He expects lab-grown diamond demand to remain strong for the next few years.
However, he also indicated that natural diamond demand may pick up again after three to four years, as currently it remains limited.
Gold and silver had an excellent year in 2025, mainly due to global instability, US tariffs, and tensions between various countries.
