Hyderabad gold prices rise; silver stays firm

HYDERABAD: Gold prices are expected to remain firm in the coming months amid sustained demand, while silver has been showing sharper gains than gold in recent days.
Market watchers said gold and silver have steadily moved out of reach for several income groups due to rising prices. Even among sections that can afford them, buying interest has softened as prices test new highs.
Demand remains steady across generations
Gold and silver continue to enjoy long-term demand, irrespective of changing generations. Interest in gold spans age groups, from elderly buyers to young professionals, while silver too has retained its appeal. Rising interest among men in gold and silver jewellery has also added to demand, traders said.
Investment preference unchanged
Investors continue to prefer gold and silver as safe-haven assets, citing capital protection during volatile market conditions. This sustained investment demand is seen as a key factor supporting prices.
