Impact and drivers of the peace talks

Diplomatic progress

  • Mediators are reportedly considering a two-week extension to the truce, which has reduced safe-haven inflows into the US dollar and shifted interest back to silver

Inflation and interest rates

  • Falling oil prices (now below $100) have reduced inflation risks and prompted traders to increase their bets on possible Federal Reserve interest rate cuts later this year

Technical outlook

  • Analysts at Prithvi Finmart point to a bullish breakout for silver and identify a key resistance at ₹2,56,600 – ₹2,61,200 on MCX

MCX performance

  • MCX Silver Futures: Up 0.8% to trade near ₹2,54,955 per kg

Can silver prices rise again?

  • Technical Levels: Support at $78 per ounce; Resistance at $85
  • Result of the peace talks: Progress in extending the ceasefire could further boost sentiment

  • Industrial Demand: Strong demand in the electronics and solar sectors provides a long-term foundation
  • Regional Premiums: A premium of ₹5,000 is charged in southern markets due to higher local demand

Important considerations for buyers

  • GST: 3% on silver value
  • Manufacturing Fees: Typically fees range from 5% to 25% for physical items
