Gold Price Crosses Rs 1.02 Lakh Mark, Hits New Record High on December 25
The gold market has moved well beyond the stage where concerns revolved around whether prices would cross the ₹1 lakh mark. On the 15th of this month, the price of one sovereign of gold officially crossed ₹1 lakh, setting a historic record.
At the beginning of the year, market experts had predicted that gold prices would reach ₹1 lakh by the end of 2025. Living up to those expectations, gold achieved this milestone ahead of schedule. Now, the World Gold Council has forecast that gold prices could approach ₹2 lakh per sovereign by the end of 2026.
In line with this bullish outlook, gold prices have continued to rise steadily, touching new highs almost every day. On December 25, gold prices climbed further, increasing by ₹20 per gram. One gram of gold is now priced at ₹12,820, while one sovereign (22 carat) is selling at ₹1,02,560—an increase of ₹160. With this surge, gold has reached an unprecedented all-time high.
Silver prices, keeping pace with gold, are also witnessing a consistent upward trend. On December 25, silver prices rose by ₹1 per gram, with one gram selling at ₹245. A kilogram silver bar is now priced at ₹2,45,000, marking a new record high for silver as well.
