Factors impacting silver prices in India:
Some of the key factors that affect silver prices in India include international silver rates, currency exchange rate (value of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar), demand and supply dynamics, interest rates, Government policies and import duties, global economic conditions, jewellery and industrial demand. Since silver is priced in US dollars, changes in the value of the dollar can influence silver prices. When the dollar weakens, silver becomes cheaper for foreign buyers, leading to an increase in demand and rising prices. On the other hand, a strong dollar typically causes silver prices to dip.
The price of silver is tracked globally through various exchanges, including the COMEX (Commodity Exchange) in the US, and the fluctuations in its price can be observed every day.
