On May 11, silver prices rose by 1.1%, reaching ₹2,64,922 per kg, while gold prices fell to ₹1,52,000 per 10 grams. The increase in silver is attributed to ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly between the US and Iran, which have raised inflation concerns and affected market expectations regarding interest rates. As crude oil prices surged by 5% to over $105 per barrel, the dollar index also gained 0.20%. PM Modi's recent comments advising against gold purchases for a year may influence consumer behavior, potentially leading to a slowdown in gold demand in India, a major consumer. Market experts suggest that silver's diverse industrial applications, including in solar energy and electric vehicles, indicate strong long-term potential. Analysts recommend that investors view any corrections in silver prices as opportunities for gradual accumulation, while caution remains due to the fragile macroeconomic outlook.
