Silver’s Historic Surge: Prices Breach ₹4,00,000 Mark—Time to Buy or Book Profit?

The Indian commodity market witnessed a watershed moment today as silver prices shattered all previous records, crossing the psychological and historic milestone of ₹4,00,000 per kg. From an expert’s lens, this meteoric rise isn't merely a speculative spike but a reflection of a fundamental shift in global economics. Intensifying geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the anticipated pivot in US Federal Reserve monetary policy have driven investors toward "safe-haven" assets. However, the true catalyst lies in silver's dual identity; its critical role in the green energy revolution—specifically in solar photovoltaics, electric vehicle (EV) components, and advanced semiconductors—has created a structural supply deficit that is now being priced into the market with aggressive force.

For retail investors, while the momentum is exhilarating, the current technical setup demands a strategy of "cautious optimism." With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) deep in overbought territory, the market is ripe for a healthy correction or a period of consolidation. Rather than chasing the rally with a lump-sum investment at these peak levels, the most prudent approach is to "Buy on Dips." As we move further into 2026, silver is increasingly decoupling from gold and evolving into a vital industrial currency. For those with a medium-to-long-term horizon, treating silver as a strategic asset rather than just a precious metal will likely yield superior risk-adjusted returns in this inflationary era.
