• Comex Silver Drops 1.73%: Silver on Comex fell the most among the two metals as profit booking continued after last week's rally.

FAQs

Why did silver fall more than gold in India today, 18 August 2026?

Comex silver dropped 1.73% against a 0.57% fall in Comex gold, so silver simply had more ground to give back. MCX silver followed with a sharper 1.30% fall compared with gold's 0.52% decline.

Is silver's rally over after this pullback?

Silver is only marginally lower than a week ago and remains up sharply over the month and year, so this looks like a pause rather than the end of the rally. A bigger and more sustained fall would be needed to signal a real trend change.

Is this a good time to buy after two days of falling prices?

Both metals have eased after a fast rally through early August, so this pullback offers a calmer entry point than buying at the recent highs. Spreading purchases across a few sessions remains a safer approach than buying all at once.
