Muhurat Trading 2025 Commodity Picks: As the markets prepare for Muhurat Trading 2025, Prithvi Finmart Pvt. Ltd. has released its Diwali Prosperity Picks for Samvat 2082, highlighting four key commodities, Gold, Silver, Aluminium, and Cottonseed Oilcake, as top investment opportunities for the coming year.
The brokerage expects 2026 to be a “glorious year for commodities”, supported by global monetary easing, softening bond yields, and steady demand revival in precious and industrial metals.
Gold: Shine Remains Bright
Gold has been the standout performer over the last year, delivering nearly 65 per cent returns and closing at Rs 1,27,008 per 10 grams on October 17, 2025. Internationally, prices crossed $4,200 per troy ounce, hitting record highs.
Prithvi Finmart notes that gold remains supported by US Fed rate cuts, rising central bank demand, de-dollarisation, and geopolitical tensions such as the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Iran conflicts.
The firm recommends investors buy gold in a SIP mode between Rs 1,20,000–Rs 1,14,000 with a stop loss at Rs 1,06,600 and a target range of Rs 1,38,000–Rs 1,50,000.
According to the report, the long-term trend remains bullish despite near-term profit booking, and technical indicators continue to support the uptrend.
Silver: Multi-Decade Breakout
Silver has outperformed gold with over 70 per cent returns in the past year, closing at Rs 1,56,604 per kg on October 17. Globally, prices crossed the key $50 per troy ounce level, breaking multi-decade highs.
Strong industrial demand, geopolitical uncertainty, and Chinese stimulus measures are seen driving further upside.
Prithvi Finmart suggests accumulating silver between Rs 1,44,000–Rs 1,34,000 with a stop loss of Rs 1,21,000 for potential targets between Rs 1,85,000–Rs 2,00,000. The brokerage calls this a long-term breakout opportunity, supported by cooling RSI levels and strong fundamentals.
Aluminium: Industrial Metal Rebound
Aluminium prices have recovered sharply from previous lows, ending at Rs 261.95 per kg. The metal is trading above its key resistance level of $2,700 per metric tonne on the LME, supported by a revival in Chinese and European demand and supply shortages.
The report recommends buying aluminium between Rs 256–Rs 244 with a stop loss of Rs 228 and upside targets of Rs 280–Rs 310. The long-term technical outlook remains positive, with indicators pointing to renewed strength after a consolidation phase.
Cottonseed Oilcake: Poised for Breakout
Cottonseed oilcake (Cocud) futures closed at Rs 2,872 per quintal on NCDEX after a volatile year. The commodity is consolidating near its support zone of Rs 2,840–Rs 2,740, with resistance around Rs 3,500.
Prithvi Finmart recommends buying between Rs 2,840–Rs 2,740 with a stop loss of Rs 2,540 and targets of Rs 3,100–Rs 3,240.
The report notes that declining cotton sowing (down 10 per cent) and potential easing in US-China trade tensions could support Cocud prices going forward.
Outlook: Volatile but Promising Year Ahead
Prithvi Finmart expects the next year to remain volatile but rewarding for commodities. Factors like Fed rate cuts, Chinese stimulus, and easing global monetary policies are likely to sustain bullish sentiment in precious and industrial metals, while agricultural commodities could recover from recent lows.
The firm concludes that precious metals will continue to shine, with industrial and soft commodities showing strong growth potential in Samvat 2082.
