As of February 25, 2025, gold rates have shown a significant increase while silver prices remain unchanged, highlighting divergent trends in these precious metals.
Latest Gold Price Movement in Bangalore
The yellow metal has maintained its strong performance in 2025, with Bangalore gold rates already up by over 6% since the beginning of the year. Market data from February 25 shows notable increases across all gold varieties:
- 22-carat gold prices increased by Rs 200 per 10 grams, reaching Rs 80,750
- 24-carat gold rates jumped by Rs 220 per 10 grams, now at Rs 88,090

The increase becomes even more substantial when looking at larger quantities. For 100 grams of gold in Bangalore:
- 100 grams of 24-carat gold now costs Rs 8,80,900, reflecting a significant increase of Rs 2,200
- 100 grams of 22-carat gold is priced at Rs 8,07,500, up by Rs 2,000
Silver Market Remains Stable
Unlike gold, silver prices in Bangalore have shown no movement on February 25. Current rates stand at:
- Silver per kilogram: Rs 1,01,000 (unchanged)
- Silver per 100 grams: Rs 10,010 (unchanged)
This stability in silver prices contrasts with the upward momentum seen in gold, creating interesting dynamics for investors looking to diversify their precious metal holdings.
Futures Market Performance
The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) showed positive trends for both gold and silver futures on Tuesday morning:
- Gold futures (maturing April 4, 2025) increased by 0.05%, trading at Rs 86,230
- Silver futures (expiring March 5, 2025) jumped by 0.35%, trading at Rs 96,426
According to ICICI Direct's Commodity Research report, MCX Gold April is expected to maintain support at Rs 85,600 and potentially move toward Rs 86,500. A breakthrough above Rs 86,500 could open possibilities for reaching the Rs 87,000 mark. Similarly, MCX Silver March is projected to rise toward Rs 96,500 as long as it maintains support above Rs 94,500.
Global Spot Prices and Market Factors
The international precious metals market has also shown strength, with spot gold climbing 0.4% to $2,947.48 per ounce. The metal briefly touched $2,956.15, marking its eleventh record high in 2025. U.S. gold futures closed 0.3% higher at $2,963.20, while spot silver showed a slight decline of 0.7% to $32.32 per ounce.
Key Drivers Behind the Gold Rally
Several factors are contributing to the ongoing strength in gold prices:
- Weakening U.S. dollar: The dollar index has dropped to its lowest level since December 10, making gold more affordable for investors holding other currencies
- Safe-haven demand: Concerns over U.S. trade policies, particularly new tariff measures, have increased investor interest in gold as a safe asset
- Trade tensions: The Trump administration's new trade and investment measures against China have heightened geopolitical uncertainty
- Increasing ETF holdings: Rising investor interest is reflected in growing ETF positions
Market Outlook for Gold
Analysts maintain a positive outlook for gold prices in the near term. According to market experts, gold is expected to hold support near $2,925 and potentially move higher toward $2,975 amid ongoing tariff concerns. The metal's price is likely to maintain support at the 10-day EMA ($2,925) while targeting higher levels.
For investors in Bangalore and across India, the continued strength in gold prices offers both opportunities and challenges. While those holding gold may benefit from the appreciation, new buyers face increasingly higher entry points. Market participants should closely monitor economic indicators from the U.S., which could introduce further volatility in precious metal prices.
