Gold and Silver Prices Bounce Back in India Following US Midterm Election Results

Gold and silver prices have rebounded strongly in India after a recent market dip, with gold trading around ₹1,45,000 per 10 grams and silver hovering near ₹1,90,000 per kg ahead of Dhanteras and Diwali 2026.

Market Impact

Market experts state that the Republican Party's defeat in the US Midterm Elections has created doubts about smooth government functioning and possible policy paralysis. This political shift has put pressure on the US dollar and led to profit-booking in the US bond market. SEBI-registered market expert Anuj Gupta notes that investors are moving funds from bonds and currencies into equities, gold, and silver. Amit Goel, Chief Global Strategist at PACE 360, adds that COMEX gold is projected to reach $4,400 per ounce, with Indian gold prices potentially hitting ₹1,55,000 per 10 grams in a bull case by the end of December 2026. Silver is expected to settle near $60 per ounce internationally and reach up to ₹2,10,000 per kg in India under similar bullish conditions.

Future Targets

For Samvat 2083, analysts expect international gold to cross $5,000 per ounce, with Indian prices reaching around ₹1,70,000 per 10 grams. Silver prices in Samvat 2083 are projected to hit $80 per ounce globally and up to ₹3,00,000 per kg in India under a bull case. Experts point to three main triggers for this future rally: a US bond market crash, an anticipated AI meltdown, and lower interest rates driven by cooling crude oil prices.

Context

Precious metals like gold and silver are traditionally viewed as safe-haven assets during times of political uncertainty and economic instability. Indian consumers frequently purchase gold during festivals like Dhanteras and Diwali as a form of long-term wealth creation.
