FAQs

Why has silver fallen so much in India this week?

Silver has corrected more than 3.5% over the past week as Comex silver gave back a large part of its earlier August rally. MCX silver followed with a similar decline, falling 1.36% today alone.

Why is gold holding steadier than silver right now?

Gold is down only marginally over the past week, while silver has fallen much more sharply. This is because Comex gold moved only 0.23% lower today against a 1.35% drop in Comex silver.

Is silver's recent fall a good buying opportunity?

Silver's pullback of more than 3.5% over the week makes it look more attractive than gold, which has moved far less. Spreading purchases across a few sessions is still a safer approach than buying all at once if the fall continues.
