In 2025, Gold & Silver are doing what most assets couldn’t — holding firm amid volatility. Gold up 50.1%, Silver up 63.4%. What's driving this unprecedented rally and more importantly, will it continue?
1/6
Here's who's really driving this: It's not retail investors, it's central banks making massive moves. Over 1,000 tonnes of gold added in 2024-25, and the 2025 CBGR survey indicates reserves to grow further.
Where does this gold go? The U.S. holds 8,133 tonnes, leading globally. India ranks among the Top 10 with 880 tonnes—reflecting the nation's enduring gold affinity and strategic reserve building.
Now look at silver: It's not just a precious metal, it's an industrial powerhouse. With 59% demand from industry (solar, EVs, electronics) and persistent deficits, silver's fundamentals are uniquely strong.
The price action validates the thesis: Gold and Silver prices have surged sharply in the last five years. Gold rose 145%, Silver 108% since 2021, and ETF folios jumped nearly 50% in the 12 months to August 2025.
Looking ahead: Geopolitical uncertainty, dovish central banks, inflation, and safe-haven demand keep prices elevated. Will precious metals continue to outshine traditional assets?
