The 2025 is a year of conflicts, there are too many conflicts happening around the world and the latest is Israel-Iran conflicts. And since the tension is in middle east, there is mainly the problem with the oil supply and thus the oil prices are going up. But with the conflicts, people are actually moving back to the metals.

The Silver and Gold prices are increasing because of the conflict. People consider the metals as the safe investment whenever there is a conflixt because the prices usually don't fall much. But this is not correct in the case of stock market, if the conflicts increases the stock market will tank whereas the metal prices will increase.
Whenever there is a geo-political issue the Gold demand boosts and now silver is following the suit too because these metals are considered as a safe haven. And that's why a lot of people consider Gold equivalent to the debt. Whatever happens around the world, the gold prices will continue to rise. It might not rise much but still it is a better alternative to the other investments. And that's why having the portfolio with the metals is always good.
And for Indians it actually a better thing to have Gold and Silver in the portfolio. This is because these metals gives good returns and along with that it is a safe haven whenever there is a war. All the investments might decrease in value but these increases in value. And along with that since in weddings and in some occasion Indians need Gold for ornaments, having it in portfolio will not hamper your other investments.
And that's why almost all the households in India whether rich or not so rich will have Gold in their house in the form of ornaments.
