Bought Silver At Highs? Vandana Bharti Explains The Way Forward

Bought Silver At Highs? Vandana Bharti Explains The Way Forward

Feb 04, 2026, 05:58 PM IST

Silver and gold investors who entered at peak levels are facing short-term pain, especially in Silver ETFs bought around ₹3.5–4.5 lakh levels. Commodity expert Vandana Bharti believes the correction has been emotionally difficult, but not structurally damaging. She emphasises that both gold and silver remain fundamentally strong metals and are unlikely to stay trapped in a prolonged bottom. Drawing parallels with gold’s recent sharp fall and swift recovery, she expects a similar trend for silver. ETFs may feel more pressure due to tracking mechanisms, but recovery could be equally sharp. Vandana suggests investors extend their holding period, potentially till Diwali, as prices stabilise and recover, increasing the probability of returning to the green zone rather than exiting in panic.

Gold, Silver & Copper: Metals Make A Comeback, Vandana Bharti Explains

In Business Today's Market Commentary, Shailendra Bhatnagar discusses the volatile mood in precious metals amid sharp corrections and recoveries on MCX. Silver trades ~4% higher at ₹2,80,500 per kg (after falling from ₹4.8 lakh highs to ₹2.3 lakh in speculative shakeout), while gold rises ~5% to ₹1,49,244 per tola (10g equivalent). Guest Vandana Bharti (SMC Global) views the recent plunge as a necessary "reset" due to over-speculation, margin calls, and profit-booking - sharper and quicker than expected. Physical premiums washed out, but demand remains resilient. Gold shows more stability; both metals now in recovery. Fundamentals remain strong (not like lithium/nickel traps) - central banks, crypto/stablecoins, and geopolitical factors drive upside. Advice for investors stuck at ₹3.5-4 lakh in silver ETFs: Hold longer (till Diwali for green zone potential); average on dips (wait for March demand correction, international $78-82, MCX ~₹2.60 lakh). Prefer ETFs for easy entry/exit over physical (premiums apply). Limit to 10-20% portfolio allocation. Outlook: Gold targets $5,400-5,500; silver/industrial metals (copper/aluminum/zinc) strong on deficits, strategic reserves, and demand. Crude needs geopolitics for upside.
