Silver rates across major cities
Silver recorded a rate of ₹116 per gram, or ₹1,16,000 per kilogram, on Thursday. Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kerala recorded the highest rate at ₹1,26,000 per kg, while Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and other major cities saw a lower rate of ₹1,16,000 per kg.
This mild correction follows a recent rally and is likely influenced by easing global economic uncertainties and profit-booking by investors. For buyers and investors, the steady cooling may offer a favourable entry point amid expectations of continued short-term price stability.
