The decline in gold and silver prices continues at the beginning of 2026.

Silver is now Rs 20,324 cheaper than its all-time high of Rs 2,54,174, and gold is trading Rs 5,385 below its high of Rs 1,40,465. The decline in prices is attributed to investor fears, a stronger dollar, and reduced global tensions, which have decreased the demand for safe-haven assets.
