Silver rates across India’s major cities showed remarkable uniformity, with only marginal differences due to local taxes, jeweller margins, and logistics costs.
Why silver prices are holding steady?
The Augmont Bullion report published on December 3 stated that gold and silver continue to rise as recent data indicates a gradual cooling of the US economy, combined with dovish signals from Fed policymakers, has bolstered market expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut at the US central bank's meeting next week, with traders pricing in an 89 percent chance of the move.
“Silver mirrors this momentum, buoyed by robust industrial demand and steady portfolio diversification flows. For MCX Silver, key supports are seen near ₹1,77,000, while resistance is firmly placed around Rs 1,85,000,” said Rahul Gupta, Chief Business Officer, Ashika Group
Outlook: Will silver regain momentum this week?
The Augmont Bullion report further predicts that silver can continue its rally towards $60 (Rs 1,85,500) and $62 (Rs 1,91,000), with firm support at $57 (Rs 1,77,000), if tight supply conditions continue.
