3 Precious Metals Set to Surge in India and Emerging Markets
Emerging markets like India are grappling with inflation, currency pressures, and geopolitical instability, turning precious metals into strategic assets. Gold, silver, and platinum are capturing investor attention as hedges against volatility and long-term value stores.
Gold prices in India soared past ₹1.02 lakh per 10 grams on August 8, 2025, a record high driven by global instability and a weakening rupee. Investment demand ROSE 7%, underscoring its role as a defensive asset. Silver, up 24% year-to-date, benefits from industrial demand in solar energy and electronics, facing a fifth consecutive supply deficit. Platinum tightens on clean energy demand, reinforcing its appeal.
