Mirae Asset Mutual Fund says gold currently has a more favourable risk-reward profile than silver. Central banks bought 289 tonnes of gold in the June quarter, a 62% year-on-year jump, with the RBI also adding to reserves. The World Gold Council survey shows 89% of reserve managers expect global gold reserves to rise. Silver remains in supply deficit for the sixth straight year in 2026, with a projected shortfall of 46.3 million ounces. Indian silver premiums have jumped to $3-$4 per ounce due to import restrictions. Gold rose to Rs 13,287 per gram on August 7, while silver reached Rs 1.33 crore per kg. Mirae Asset recommends a staggered investment approach for long-term investors.
