[vc_section el_id=”blog-inner-layout”][vc_row overlay_dotted=””][vc_column el_class=”blog_primary”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]Gold prices have once again scaled new peaks ahead of Dhanteras 2025, crossing \u20b91.23 lakh per 10 grams on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). The December 2025 futures jumped nearly 2%, while longer-dated contracts also hit lifetime highs \u2014 with June futures trading close to \u20b91.28 lakh per 10 grams.<\/p>\n

Silver followed suit, rallying up to 4% in Monday\u2019s session.<\/p>\n

The surge in precious metals comes amid a perfect mix of festive demand, global economic uncertainty, and safe-haven buying, making gold one of the most closely watched assets this season.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What\u2019s Fueling the Rally?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A combination of global triggers and domestic demand has powered gold\u2019s sharp rise this year.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Global Economic Uncertainty<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Heightened US\u2013China trade tensions, political instability in parts of Europe, and the recent US government shutdown have pushed investors worldwide toward safe-haven assets.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Expectations of US Rate Cuts<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The US Federal Reserve\u2019s rate-easing cycle has made non-yielding assets like gold more attractive. Lower interest rates typically weaken the dollar and improve the relative appeal of bullion.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Central Bank Buying and Reserve Diversification<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        According to recent data cited by global institutions, central bank gold holdings have nearly doubled in the past decade.
        \nIndia, too, has steadily increased its reserves \u2014 from 8.1% of total holdings in 2023 to around 14% by September 2025.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Festive and Seasonal Demand in India<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          With Dhanteras and Diwali around the corner, India\u2019s festive season is driving renewed retail and jewellery demand.
          \nIndia\u2019s gold imports almost doubled in September compared to the previous month as jewellers and banks replenished stocks ahead of the festival period.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Rising Household Wealth in Gold<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            A recent report by Morgan Stanley estimated that Indian households now hold gold worth nearly US$3.8 trillion \u2014 equivalent to about 88.8% of India\u2019s GDP. This massive store of wealth not only underlines India\u2019s cultural affinity for gold but also reinforces its importance as a financial cushion.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Strong ETF Inflows<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Gold-backed exchange-traded funds (Gold ETFs<\/strong><\/a>) have witnessed a sharp rise in inflows as investors diversify portfolios amid market volatility.<\/p>\n
