MCX Silver Prices Tumble as Local Bets Are Reduced
Silver futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) dropped by Rs 851 to Rs 2,34,596 per kilogram on August 14 due to a sell-off by participants.
The decline was driven mainly by a reduction in bets from market players. Silver contracts for September delivery fell by 0.36 percent in a business turnover of 3,644 lots.
Despite the local downturn, silver prices globally were trading up at USD 64.67 per ounce in New York, indicating mixed sentiment.
