Gold vs Silver: Not in gold! Now the opportunity to invest in silver, can get strong returns, experts have given the reason – Cross Talk India
Gold prices After 2024, in 2025, there has been a tremendous rise so far. The price of gold has also touched a historical level of Rs 1 lakh per 10 grams. However, the price of silver has not been recorded as a boom compared to gold. In such a situation, the experts of the bullion market say that silver is better than gold in terms of investment. In the coming time, investors may get more returns in silver than gold. After all, why are such experts doing medicine for silver? Let’s know.
Since the beginning of the calendar year, the price of gold has increased by 25.1%, while the price of silver has increased by 13.5%. Due to this, Ajay Kedia, director of Kedia Advisory, hopes that silver will give more returns than gold in the coming months. Another main reason for experts to bet on silver is an increase in the ratio of gold and silver, which has exceeded 100 in the last few months. This is the second time since the Kovid crisis when the ratio has reached 126. The ratio is calculated based on silver ounces which can be purchased from one ounce of gold.
Gold price rose much faster than silver
The high ratio suggests that the price of gold has increased much faster than silver, which is unstable according to historical data. In the last four years this ratio has been above 80. In the last 25 years (since 2000) it has been an average of 68 while the 10-year average has been 85. This ratio was also higher in the last decade because gold gave 260% returns while silver gave 60% returns.
Gold is no longer attractive for investors
According to the commodity and currency head of HDFC Securities, Anuj Gupta, a sharp rise in gold prices has made it less attractive to investors, while it has become expensive for traders due to a significant increase in margin. Gold is expensive at current levels and may be at least rapid in the near-medium period than silver.
