25th January 2026, Kathmandu
The gold silver price record in the Nepali market has been shattered once again, as both precious metals surged to unprecedented all-time highs on Sunday, January 25, 2026. According to the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers Association (FENEGOSIDA), the first trading day of the week witnessed a dramatic price escalation, signaling a powerful bullish trend that has captivated domestic investors and consumers alike.
Gold Silver Price Record
In a single day, the price of gold skyrocketed by 2,400 rupees per tola. This surge pushed the price of hallmarked fine gold (Chhapawal Sun) to a staggering 303,800 rupees per tola. This milestone comes just days after the metal first crossed the historic 300,000 threshold on Friday, when it was traded at 301,400 rupees per tola. The rapid ascent underscores a period of extreme volatility and upward momentum in the bullion market.
Domestic Market Breakdown: Gold and Silver Rates
The current price hike affects all categories of precious metals in Nepal. Tejabi gold, which is often used for jewelry making, also saw a proportional increase of 2,400 rupees, reaching 303,100 rupees per tola. For those tracking prices in smaller quantities, the price of fine gold is currently fixed at 260,465 rupees per 10 grams.
Silver has not been left behind in this record-breaking run. On Sunday, silver prices climbed by 290 rupees per tola, bringing the new market rate to 6,480 rupees per tola. Only 48 hours earlier, silver was priced at 6,190 rupees per tola. This significant daily jump reflects a broader global appetite for silver, driven by both its value as a financial asset and its increasing utility in green technology and industrial applications.
Global Drivers Behind the Surge
The continuous breaking of the gold silver price record in Nepal is a direct consequence of turbulence in the international markets. Several key global factors are currently at play:
Safe-Haven Demand: Ongoing geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainty have led international investors to flock toward gold as a “safe-haven” asset to protect their wealth.
International Bullion Rates: Gold is currently trading at approximately 4,987 US dollars per ounce in the global market, while silver has reached nearly 103 US dollars per ounce.
Currency Volatility: The weakening of the Nepali Rupee against the US Dollar has made imports more expensive, further inflating the domestic price of gold and silver.
Monetary Policy Shifts: Expectations regarding interest rate cuts by major central banks, such as the US Federal Reserve, typically make non-yielding assets like gold more attractive to hold.

Cultural Impact and Consumer Response in Nepal
In Nepal, gold is more than just a commodity; it is a cultural necessity deeply embedded in festivals, religious ceremonies, and the wedding season (Vivaha Panchami to Magh). However, the price reaching above 300,000 rupees per tola is fundamentally altering consumer behavior.
Jewelry traders in major hubs like New Road and Asan report a visible slowdown in retail demand. Many middle-class families are finding it increasingly difficult to afford traditional quantities of gold for weddings. Consequently, there is a growing trend of “re-selling” old jewelry to fund new purchases or opting for lighter, “hollow” designs to manage costs. While retail demand for ornaments is struggling, “investment demand” remains high as individuals look to safeguard their savings against inflation.
Market Outlook and Advice for Buyers
The Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers Association has noted that the domestic market will likely remain volatile as long as international prices continue their erratic path. Experts suggest that while the long-term outlook for gold remains positive due to global economic shifts, consumers should exercise caution.
For those looking to buy, market analysts suggest:
Monitor Exchange Rates: Since gold is imported, the USD/NPR exchange rate is as important as the gold price itself.
Wait for Corrections: Historic peaks are often followed by brief technical corrections or profit-taking periods, which might offer a better entry point for buyers.
Check for Hallmark: Always ensure that any purchase is hallmarked and comes with a transparent bill to ensure purity and resale value.
Conclusion
The latest gold silver price record of 303,800 rupees for gold and 6,480 rupees for silver marks a historical turning point for the Nepalese economy. While the price hike provides a massive valuation boost for existing holders and investors, it poses a significant financial challenge for the general public. As the global landscape continues to shift, the precious metals market in Nepal will remain the primary focal point for anyone looking to understand the current state of financial security and cultural expenditure in the country.
