Mumbai: After seeing its value rise to almost 55% over the past year, the less valuable cousin of gold is mellowing down, with prices cooling from its all-time high of ₹1,90,000 per kg on October 15. Despite that, the silver rush continues post Dhanteras, with investors preferring this ‘safe haven’ asset over market uncertainties that define equities.
Even as prices have corrected about 9% since Dhanteras, profit booking and sustained demand from industrial sources have kept the interest momentum high, even as supply risks on prices will continue.
Besides this, analysts are expecting silver prices to rise further, especially as the US Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates cuts, reigniting interests in silver futures.
Moreover, silver is being seen as a hedge against demand-supply constraints, along with gold, even as the US-China trade tensions have continued to ease lately.
2025 has seen an unprecedented surge in interest for silver, with Silver ETFs offering almost 55% returns, outpacing gold and silver. Throughout 2025, investors have poured in a record ₹8,603 crore in silver ETFs, to the point where Mutual Fund houses have had to halt further investments to protect investors from unexpected price falls. Today, Silver ETF prices have reduced by 7.9% post-Diwali
For now, silver prices continue to remain high, with analysts remaining bullish especially as industrial demand from the batteries, solar panels, EVs and electronics industries remain high.
Analysts too, remain bullish on Silver’s rise, even as institutional investors continue to pour money into the white metal.
