Pune, 14th January 2025: With the stock market experiencing heightened volatility and gold prices hovering near Rs 80,000 per 10 grams, silver has emerged as an appealing investment option for many this year. Factors such as economic uncertainty and the upcoming Union Budget have further fueled interest in this precious metal.

Anil Jain, secretary of the Shree Mumbadevi Dagina Bazar Association, echoed this sentiment, expressing optimism about silver’s potential in 2025. “We are confident that silver will prove to be a strong performer this year. Gold prices are currently so high that most people only purchase it for essential occasions, like weddings. Silver, on the other hand, has room for growth, and we expect its value to increase further,” he stated.

Another expert highlighted silver’s affordability as a significant factor drawing retail buyers. “Silver offers an accessible entry point for those looking to invest in precious metals. While price stability remains crucial for sustaining demand, industrial and investment interest in silver appears robust. That said, fluctuations in prices or changes in macroeconomic conditions, such as Federal Reserve rate decisions, could impact sentiment,” he explained.

Industry experts have also pointed to silver’s industrial applications as a driver of future demand. With the global shift toward green technologies, there is a growing need for silver, particularly in sectors like electronics and solar energy.

As both industrial use and investment interest rise, silver’s potential as a lucrative asset class continues to attract attention, offering a compelling alternative to gold in the current economic climate.
