It would not be wrong to say that the year 2025 will be in the name of metals. This year investors have benefited not from the stock market but from metals. Although among metals everyone will name gold and silver. But add two more names to this. Who has left no stone unturned in making investors earn. Copper and platinum. At one time platinum was a metal which was even ahead of silver in terms of giving returns. But in the month of August, silver made such a jump that it left everyone behind.

At present, among metals, silver is at the forefront in terms of earning. Which has given a return of 170 percent in the current year. The special thing is that on Monday, when silver had crossed the level of 2.50 in the futures market, the returns of investors had gone beyond 190 percent. After that Platinum has also given returns of more than 100 percent.

At the same time, Gold and Copper have also left no stone unturned in earning money. It clearly means that traditional asset classes like metals have shown their worth to the present day modern asset classes. Let us also tell you how metals have left the stock market and modern asset classes like Bitcoin behind in terms of earning?

Stock market broke dreams

Even though the stock market seems to be giving positive returns in the current year, the kind of returns or earnings that investors were expecting have not been the same. In the current year, Sensex has seen an increase of about 8 percent. Whereas Nifty has made investors earn more than 9 percent. At present, the Sensex is trading at 84,548.69 points with a fall of about 150 points. Which is about 1600 points below its 52-week high of 86,159.02 points. While Nifty is also trading at 25,892.45 points with a fall of about 50 points and is about 448 points below its 52-week high of 26,325.80 points. However, experts say that until the trade with America is done and the exodus of foreign investors from the stock market is stopped, a similar slowdown may be seen in the stock market.

Investors also had hope from Bitcoin

Investors had a lot of expectations from the world of cryptocurrency in the current year. Why not? Donald Trump took oath as US President. In the election campaign, he had promised to make America the crypto capital of the world. The effect of which was visible in the initial phase and by the month of October, in the period of ups and downs, the world's largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin reached a new record of $ 126,198.07. But such a storm of decline came that all the investors were surprised. Currently, the price of Bitcoin is at $87,798.49, which is trading 30 percent below its record high. The special thing is that in the current year, Bitcoin is trading about 6 percent lower as compared to the last trading day of last year.

Metals were the biggest hero of earnings

On the last trading day of last year, the price of silver was Rs 87,233 per kg, which has increased to Rs 2,35,555 per kg. This means that the investor has made a profit of Rs 1,48,322 on one kg of silver.
2. platinum: Platinum has also been no less in terms of earning. There was a time in the current year when platinum was earning more money for investors than silver. But after profit booking in platinum, prices came down. Even after that, in the current year, platinum has given a return of 134.23 percent to the investors. On the last trading day of last year, the price of platinum in the international market was $902, which has increased to $2,115.
3. Gold: Even though gold has not given more than 100 percent returns to investors like silver and platinum, it has definitely created an individual record of earning. There is no such year in the last 50 years when such a tremendous increase has been seen in the prices of gold. In the current year, gold has given returns of more than 77.05 percent to investors. On the last trading day of last year, the price of gold was Rs 76,748 per kg, which has increased to Rs 1,35,898 per kg. This means that investors have made a profit of Rs 59,150 on 10 grams of gold.
4. Copper: On the other hand, Copper has also left no stone unturned in making investors earn. Copper prices have taken a huge leap in the futures market of the country. In fact, after metals like copper were included in the category of rare earth metals, there has been an increase in their prices. In the current year, an increase of 62.13 percent has been seen in the prices of copper. On the last trading day of last year, the price of copper was Rs 793 per kg. Which has currently increased to Rs 1,285.

Which is currently in the category of rare earth metals. Copper has also been kept in this category. There has also been a rise in the prices of platinum and gold. He said that the year 2026 will also see a rise in these metals. This boom may not be the same as that which will come in 2025. Anuj Gupta said that silver can be seen at the level of Rs 3 lakh by the end of the year.
