Gold corrects before Akshaya Tritiya; silver gains attention

Gold prices, after hitting ₹1 lakh, corrected sharply ahead of Akshaya Tritiya 2025. Jewellers launched big discounts to attract buyers despite high volatility. Analysts predict gold could touch ₹1.10 lakh by next year but advise a buy-on-dips strategy. Silver is emerging as a strong alternative for investors seeking diversified precious metal exposure.
