Why is silver down?
"Gold and silver erased recent gains, snapping a two-day rebound as renewed selling pressure and heightened volatility returned to precious-metal markets, noted the Augmont Bullion report.
The prices have fallen significantly after China’s gold ETFs witnessed record daily outflows, with nearly $1 billion withdrawn from major bullion-backed funds after the sharp price correction unsettled investor confidence.
Meanwhile, in the ongoing geopolitical front, Iran and the US are scheduled to meet on Friday. Earlier, the US President Trump held wide-ranging discussions with China’s Xi Jinping ahead of a proposed April visit, following Xi’s recent virtual meeting with Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
The report predicts that silver is expected to trade weak and consolidate in the $74–$91 range (Rs 2,35,000–Rs 2,85,000). A breakdown below $74 may trigger further downside toward $69 (Rs 2,20,000). So, buy on dips, sell on rallies.
