Gold Silver Profit: Are the days of Gold and Silver over? Expert advises booking profit after huge gains, will you turn your focus to the stock market?

Gold Silver Profit: Although the prices of gold and silver have risen at an unprecedented pace in recent months, according to Gautam Shah, founder of Goldilocks Global Research, it is now time to book profits from these two precious metals. According to him, this is the best opportunity to turn paper profits into real profits. Speaking to NDTV Profit on Tuesday, he mentioned the possibility of aggressive profit booking in gold and silver.

This comment from the expert comes at a time when the prices of gold and silver have come down slightly from their recent peaks. On Friday, the price of silver in the world market fell by about 6% and the price of gold by more than 3%. This has also had an impact on the domestic market in India. Silver future prices on India’s Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) have fallen by about 10% from Friday’s high.

Current market price of gold and silver

A fall in the prices of gold and silver has also been observed in the international market. At 6:49 PM Indian time, gold in the US spot market was trading at $4,205.3, down 3.47%, and silver was trading at $49.76, down 5.02%. These figures prove that the precious metals market is currently bearish.

Equity will be the star of the future

Gautam Shah is now placing more faith in the Indian Equities market than in precious metals. He said, “Last year during Diwali when I was asked this question (gold vs. stock), I said gold could give higher returns. But this time I will say that equity will make a strong comeback.”

According to him, the Nifty 50 could reach around the 27,500 level in the next 12 months. However, he believes that mid-cap and small-cap stocks will be the most profitable. He also sees the possibility of the Nifty reaching the 28,400 level within the next 18-24 months.

Comparison of returns over the last year

Behind this advice from the expert is the performance data of the last year. From Diwali 2024 to Diwali 2025, silver gave a return of about 60% and gold about 56%, leaving the equity market far behind.

At the same time, the Indian market lagged behind other stock markets in the world in dollar terms.

• S&P 500: 17% increase
• Dow Jones: 11% increase
• Nikkei 225: 23% increase
• Nifty 50: Only 1.5% increase (in dollar terms)

According to analysts, the Indian market lagged due to the weakness of the Indian Rupee, high market valuations, and a slowdown in earnings growth. Additionally, foreign investors had moved money to markets like the US, Taiwan, and China, which were offering comparatively better returns. But according to Gautam Shah, this picture is about to change in the coming days, and the Indian stock market could be the best option for investors.
