As per FeNeGoSiDA, silver was traded at Rs 855 per tola on Sunday and went up by five rupees a tola on Monday to Rs 860 per tola. On Tuesday, price of the grey metal increased by Rs 15 per tola to Rs 875 a tola and on Wednesday it reached Rs 885 a tola, increasing by Rs 10 per tola.

Compared to the previous week’s closing rate of Rs 850 per tola, silver price went up by Rs 40 per tola in the review period. FeNeGoSiDA has stated that the weak value of the dollar in the domestic market has boosted the gold price. Moreover, due to the Christmas holiday in the New York market, bullion supply has declined in the Asian region. Hence, the price went up in the domestic market. Besides, the federation has also claimed that bullion price also increased as there was no major headway in the trade talks between China and the United States. According to Reuters, supplies are limited as most of the international suppliers are on leave allowing sellers to charge a premium. Thus, gold edged higher and was set for its best week in over four months, as volumes remained thin in cautious holiday trade, supported by global economic growth concerns and US-China trade uncertainties. Reuters further reported that gold prices flipped to a premium this week in India due to limited supplies even as demand remained subdued, while other Asian regions barely saw any holiday purchasing.
