Silver touches a record Rs13,750 a kg
Mumbai: Spot silver price in the Mumbai bullion market opened at an all-time-high of Rs13,750 per kg on Wednesday and closed at Rs13,700 per kg, Rs50 lower. The opening price was 0.65 per cent higher than the closing price of the previous day.

Silver has been rising as the stocks of the central government are getting exhausted. In the past fortnight it has been moving between Rs13,300 to Rs13,700 per kg.

The present silver price is still Rs800 lower than the cost insurance and freight (CIF) rate of the imported silver. Hence, the domestic silver may touch this level anytime to sell in parlance with international price said silver importers.

So far the government has sold about 1,800 tonnes of silver this year out of the total annual requirement of about 3,000 tonnes per annum.

Trader said gold traders are shifting their attention towards silver as an investment option and silver would outperform gold very soon. The present rise in domestic silver prices could be attributed marginally to the supply constraints from the Mineral and Metal Trading Corporation (MMTC).
