Silver price outlook—what lies ahead?

The Augmont report, published on February 24, noted that silver rose to a three-week high, driven by renewed safe-haven buying. Investor sentiment turned cautious after US President Donald Trump responded sharply to a court ruling on global tariffs.

According to the report, silver has met its $85 (Rs 2,60,000) target and is now steadily moving toward the next resistance levels of $90 (Rs 2,70,000) and $92 (Rs 2,80,000).
