Gold, silver at record highs: Is the rally signalling risk? What it means for equities and your portfolio

Gold, silver at record highs: Is the rally signalling risk? What it means for equities and your portfolio

Jan 15, 2026, 08:44 PM IST

Finance advisor and Wisdom Hatch founder Akshat Shrivastava has cautioned that while gold and silver are classic “risk-off” assets, their recent rally does not automatically imply that equity markets are headed for trouble. He said that commodities typically benefit when investors rotate out of equities because, unlike stocks, they do not carry valuation multiples that can contract sharply during market corrections.

Gold climbed to another record on Wednesday, while silver pushed past the $90 level for the first time, as escalating tensions in Iran and growing doubts over the Federal Reserve’s independence boosted demand for safe-haven assets. The rally was further supported by softer inflation data, which reinforced expectations of interest rate cuts.

Gold, Silver Hit Fresh Record Highs On MCX | Investment Strategy In Gold & Silver

The bull run in precious metals shows no signs of slowing down, with both MCX Gold and MCX Silver hitting fresh record highs. Silver surged by ₹7,000 to trade near ₹2.82 lakh per kilo, while gold jumped ₹600 to around ₹1.43 lakh, marking yet another milestone in their ongoing rally. Even as equity markets remain sluggish, gold and silver continue to outperform, driven by global uncertainty and sustained investor demand. Sharad Avasthi, Head of Research (PCG), SMIFS caution, however, that while momentum remains strong, replicating such sharp returns over the next few months may be challenging. Historically, silver has seen powerful rallies followed by steep corrections, and at current levels, the risk-reward equation appears stretched. Gold too may struggle to move significantly higher unless geopolitical tensions escalate further. In this discussion, we analyse what’s driving the surge, the risks involved, and whether investors should remain cautious at record-high levels.

International gold prices edged lower on Tuesday after scaling a fresh all-time high above $4,600 an ounce in the previous session, as traders moved in to lock in profits amid persistent geopolitical and economic uncertainty.

Gold, Silver At Record Highs: Should You Still Buy In 2026?

Jan 13, 2026, 07:00 AM IST

Gold and silver are on a historic run as global uncertainty and geopolitical shocks continue to drive safe-haven buying. Spot gold has surged to a record $4,563 per ounce in 2026, while silver has hit $83.5. In India, gold is near ₹1.40 lakh and silver is approaching ₹2.60 lakh. But is this rally sustainable? In this discussion, we break down why central banks are aggressively accumulating gold, how ETF flows are pushing prices higher, and why silver’s rally may be riding on sentiment rather than fresh fundamentals. While bullion can add stability to a portfolio, history shows that sharp rallies are often followed by cooling phases. So should you still ride the trend or wait for a pullback?
