Sudden fall in silver... now ₹1.59 lakh cheaper than high, gold has also slipped
Silver prices have sharply fallen, now more than ₹1.59 lakh cheaper from their peak, while gold prices have also decreased.
The prices of gold and silver continue to fluctuate, showing a rollercoaster pattern throughout the year. Earlier this year, both precious metals saw significant highs, only to experience a sudden crash afterwards. Recently, on the fourth trading day of the week, silver prices have dropped further, and gold has also seen a decrease, with silver now available at a significantly lower rate than its peak.
As of Thursday, silver prices fell sharply on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), with the price of silver set to expire on March 5 closing at ₹263,018 per kilogram, only to tumble to ₹260,453 at market opening, reflecting a loss of ₹2,565 in a single instance. Analysts are divided on the future trajectory of silver prices; some predict a further decline towards the ₹2 lakh per kilogram mark, while others anticipate a potential rebound in prices, suggesting a possibility of renewed momentum for silver.
This continuous fluctuation in precious metal prices is attributed to various market dynamics, and it raises concerns for investors and enthusiasts alike regarding the stability of gold and silver as investment options. The ongoing volatility may impact buying decisions, especially as consumer sentiments change with every swing in the prices, further complicating market outlooks for both gold and silver in the coming days.
