Gold vs Silver: Which metal to invest in for maximum profit amid ongoing US-Iran war and oil on the boil? | Stock Market News
Gold and silver both slipped from their war-time peaks as oil cooled and the US dollar stayed strong. MCX gold is down 12-15% from above Rs 1,75,000 per 10 grams; silver is down 10-14% from about Rs 2,75,000 per kg. Prices stay jumpy while the US-Iran standoff and the Strait of Hormuz stay unresolved, so stagger your buying rather than investing all at once.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Iran has offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the US eases military pressure and lifts its blockade on Iranian ports.
- Since their peaks, spot gold has fallen about 10-20% and spot silver about 12-15%, while MCX gold is down 12-15% and MCX silver 10-14%.
- One market expert expects gold to move between Rs 1,51,000 and Rs 1,54,500, while another sees silver swinging between $63 and $75 per ounce.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you plan to add gold or silver, consider buying in small instalments over the next few weeks instead of a single lump sum, and keep an eye on oil prices and the Strait of Hormuz news, since both are driving these sharp swings.
