Silver ETFs surge due to solar demand, but carry higher risk. Experts suggest 60 percent gold, 40 percent silver.
ETFs allow you to invest in assets like gold and silver without physically buying them. Both metals are rising right now — but silver is increasing faster than gold. However, higher returns often come with higher risk.Recent Price Surge: In just one week, Gold rose 4.4% — Rs 1 lakh became about Rs 1.04 lakh. Silver rose 6.4% — Rs 1 lakh became about Rs 1.06 lakh. This means silver investors earned around Rs 2,000 more than gold investors in just one week. The government’s push for solar energy, railways, metro, and infrastructure projects is boosting silver demand. Silver is widely used in solar panels, EVs, and electronics — and rising demand could push prices even higher.But Silver Comes With Higher Risk: Silver prices are more volatile. They rise fast — but can also fall sharply. Gold, on the other hand, is considered a safer asset. Its demand remains stable due to weddings, festivals, and global uncertainty.Gold is currently close to its all-time high, which increases chances of profit booking and price correction. Silver is still below its peak, which means it may have more room to grow in the short term.So, Where Should You Invest? Experts Suggest Balance Both gold and silver, as they have strong potential. Experts recommend: 60% investment in gold for safety, 40% investment in silver for higher growth potential.
