Exploring The ‘Goldilocks’ Moment In Silver & Gold Trade | Is The Exuberance Here To Stay?

Gold and silver have stolen the show in 2025 — outpacing equities, debt, even cryptocurrencies — with a year-long surge so spectacular that even this week’s sharp correction looks like a pause in a runaway rally. Silver has been the undisputed star, at one point up well over 150% year-on-year globally and nearly 180% in Indian trade, before a profit-taking washout on December 29 cooled prices from record highs. Gold, too, is sitting on gains of 60–80% over the year in key markets, still near record territory despite a 4–5% dip at the start of this week. Together they have created what many on the Street are calling a “goldilocks” moment for precious metals — turbocharged by falling interest rates, geopolitical tension and a powerful investor hunt for safety and real assets.
