Gold and Silver Prices Rebound Ahead of Dhanteras Amid US Election and Market Factors
Gold and silver prices have rebounded sharply ahead of Dhanteras 2026, supported by a weaker US dollar, falling crude oil prices, and a Democratic victory in the US midterm elections. Despite a significant correction from their January peaks, both metals remain attractive for long-term investors, with experts advising gradual accumulation. Indian jewellers anticipate a 10-30% rise in sales value, though consumers prefer lighter jewellery amid elevated prices. Silver's industrial demand and affordability are drawing younger buyers, while gold continues to be a key portfolio diversifier.
