Silver prices in India remained volatile into mid-February after the sharp correction from late-January highs. Following the rebound to ₹300 per gram on February 9, the recovery quickly faded. Prices eased to ₹290 per gram on February 10 and held steady on February 11, before inching up to ₹295 per gram on February 12. However, the rebound proved short-lived, with rates dropping to ₹280 per gram on February 13, extending losses to ₹275 on February 14 and ₹268 on February 16.

With silver now trending lower after briefly oscillating between ₹280 and ₹300, price action points to consolidation with a downward bias rather than a strong reversal. The inability to sustain gains near ₹295–₹300 suggests weak short-term momentum, while continued swings reflect profit-booking and sensitivity to global cues. Overall, the market appears to be stabilising at lower levels, but a decisive trend direction has yet to emerge after the steep pullback from January highs.

Silver prices in India continued to fluctuate sharply in mid-February.

With prices sliding from ₹295 to ₹268 within a few sessions, sentiment remains fragile, highlighting persistent volatility and a downward bias in the domestic silver market.

Outlook

Silver prices in India continue to move within a volatile corrective band in mid-February. After touching ₹300 per gram on February 9, rates slipped to ₹290 on February 10 and 11, briefly recovered to ₹295 per gram on February 12, and then declined further to ₹280 on February 13, ₹275 on February 14, and ₹268 on February 16. The steady drop after the brief rebound indicates weakening near-term momentum. With prices sliding sharply over just a few sessions, buying support appears inconsistent and sentiment remains cautious.

Conclusion

As of February 16, silver prices stand at ₹268 per gram, or ₹2,68,000 per kg. Retail rates are around ₹2,680 per 10 grams across most major cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Pune, Vadodara, and Ahmedabad, while Hyderabad and Kerala quote higher at about ₹2,800 per 10 grams. The recent decline from ₹295 to ₹268 over the past few sessions underscores persistent volatility, with the market showing a short-term downward bias while still searching for a stable direction.
