Silver Price Crashes: A sharp decline in silver prices was seen on Monday amid positive signs regarding reduction in geopolitical tension and Ukraine-Russia war. Positive talks between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky increased investors’ risk appetite, which impacted silver, which is considered a safe investment. In just one hour, the price of silver on Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) fell by almost Rs 21,000 per kg to Rs 2,33,120 in intra-day trading. This big fall came at a time when earlier silver had reached an all-time high of Rs 2,54,174 per kg.
Why is silver shining?
Fluctuations in silver were also seen in the international market. It reached the level of $ 80 per ounce for the first time in early trading on Monday, but under the pressure of profit booking, its price slipped to around $ 75 per ounce. However, despite this, investor sentiment towards silver remains strong at the global level.
In fact, due to strong investor demand and positive global signals, silver prices recorded a record rise for the sixth consecutive session in futures trade on Monday. On MCX, the price of silver contract for March 2026 delivery jumped by Rs 14,387, or about six percent, to reach an all-time high of Rs 2,54,174 per kg. Due to the strength in international markets, traders purchased silver on a large scale, which supported the prices.
Why is demand increasing?
Meanwhile, the upward trend in gold prices also continued. On MCX, the price of gold contract for February 2026 delivery increased by Rs 357, or 0.26 percent, to reach a record level of Rs 1,40,230 per 10 grams. Earlier on Friday, gold had reached an all-time high of Rs 1,40,465 per 10 grams.
The shine of precious metals continued in the global markets also. On Comex, gold futures rose 0.35 percent to a new record of $ 4,536.80 an ounce, while silver futures jumped 7.09 percent to an all-time high of $ 82.67 an ounce.
