Gold Crosses $4,500, Silver Surges To Record High — Check Rates In Delhi, Mumbai, And Other Cities

Gold prices in India hit record highs, and have surged to Rs 138,210, with silver also witnessing a sharp uptick at Rs 219,990 on Wednesday, according to the India Bullion Association.

Meanwhile, spot gold saw sustained growth, crossing the $4,500 mark on Tuesday, building on three days of gains, with bullion hovering near $4,517.98 an ounce today.

The rally is buoyed on escalating tensions in Venezuela and expectations for more US rate cuts. Silver and platinum have also advanced to all-time peaks.

In 2025, gold and silver delivered remarkable gains, ranking among the most impressive rallies in recent memory. Silver emerged as the standout performer, soaring by nearly 130% over the year.

Bloomberg also reported that heightened tensions in Venezuela, where U.S. sanctions have blocked oil shipments, have strengthened gold’s status as a safe-haven asset. Investors are also wagering that the Federal Reserve, after three consecutive rate cuts, will ease borrowing costs again next year—a move that typically supports non-yielding assets like precious metals.

In New Delhi, the price stood at Rs 137,720 per 10 gm, and in Mumbai, it stood at Rs 137,960 on Wednesday.
