If you are confused about investing in the year 2026, this news could be very useful for you. Experts have given some opinions regarding investment for the next year…
The new year is just a few days away. In this context, some people have this question in their minds: Will gold and silver also go up at rocket speed in the year 2026? If you also want to know the answer to this question before investing, let us tell you which will be better to invest in the new year: gold or silver.
Both gold and silver have given bumper returns in the year 2025. On December 31, 2024, silver was ₹89,700 per kg. It has increased by 153% so far. Gold prices have increased by more than 73% in the global market. In such a situation, many investors have their eyes fixed on both these metals, but the needle of doubt is still there: in which one to invest in 2026? Let’s find out the expert’s opinion.
Naveen Mathur, Director of Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, said that both gold and silver will remain in a strong position in 2026, but the kind of returns seen in 2025 are not expected. According to the ED’s report, considering the global situation, gold will be strong but stable. Meanwhile, if the demand for silver increases, it can give higher returns than gold.
Both gold and silver are currently beyond the budget of the common people. Prithviraj Kothari (President of IBJA) has indicated the possibility that gold could reach ₹1.50 lakh to ₹1.65 lakh. Meanwhile, the pace of silver is also not going to be slow. Silver could reach ₹2.30 lakh to ₹2.50 lakh.
Regarding investment in gold and silver, experts say that in the coming times, silver prices may remain strong because industrial demand is continuously increasing. Meanwhile, the opinion regarding gold is that doing a SIP in it for the long term is the best way, because investing in installments provides the benefit of average cost. Suvankar Sen of Senco Gold believes that silver has more volatility, which also provides a big opportunity for profit. Meanwhile, Siddharth Jain also advises SIP in silver.
