Gold prices rally 10% to record high. What's fueling the bullion boom?
Gold’s fresh lifetime high of Rs 84,894 per 10 grams on Wednesday marked an over 10% surge in yellow metal prices in 2025, so far. The rally has been fueled by fears of a likely tariff war between the US and the rest of the world, triggering a haven appeal for bullion.
Investors have taken refuge in gold and silver, with the latter also delivering more than 10% returns on the year-to-date basis.
In contrast, Indian equity markets have cut a sorry picture as Nifty has just managed to keep its head up, with 0.22% returns in 2025 as on February 5. US President Donald Trump’s tariff related threats had strengthened the US dollar and bond yields leading to an exodus of FII money from India.
Foreign Institutional Investors have been net sellers of Indian equities at Rs 80,627 crore with 78,000 crore going down the drain in January, itself.
Bitcoin which breached the $1,00,000 mark in 2024, has also seen some softening as the price hovers around $98,000 mark.
