Silver Price Today LIVE: White metal surges 175% this year — Is it still a good buy? Check silver rate today, outlook

Key Highlights

• Last week alone, silver prices jumped 15% amid tightening global supplies, particularly in China—the world’s largest consumer of silver and a major producer of solar panels, electronics, and electric vehicles.
• Analysts highlighted China’s decision to impose export restrictions on silver from January 1, 2026, requiring export licences through 2027, which could disrupt global supply chains.
• In the domestic futures market, the silver rate today has hit a fresh all-time high of ₹2.42 per kg on the MCX.
• The rally in India has seen a push amid a stellar performance by silver prices in the international market, where the prices are just a stone's throw away from 80 per US dollar.
• 1) Demand–Supply Gap: Silver is largely a by-product of other metals such as copper, lead, and zinc, which means that a rally in silver prices does not automatically lead to higher production.
