This article discusses the year-end price movements of precious and industrial metals, noting a slight dip on December 31, 2025, against a backdrop of strong annual performance and public concern over sustained high prices.
Today, Wednesday, December 31, 2025, recorded a slight decline in gold and silver prices. Since the beginning of this year, gold and silver have pleased investors multiple times by delivering better returns. Not just gold and silver, but the performance of copper and aluminum has also been record-breaking this year. However, it’s a different story that the general public has been quite disappointed with the sustained surge in prices of metals like gold, silver, and copper in 2025. This is because there is a tradition in India of buying gold and silver on occasions like weddings and festivals, but due to the sharp rise in gold and silver prices, these metals are going out of reach for many people.
On COMEX today, the price of gold has come down to $4,379.60 per ounce. Additionally, the price of silver has fallen today to $74.170 per ounce.
