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, and sliding further to ₹260 on February 17 and ₹255 on February 18.

With silver now firmly trending lower after briefly oscillating between ₹280 and ₹300, price action indicates consolidation with a clear downward bias rather than a strong reversal. The inability to sustain gains near ₹295–₹300 points to weak short-term momentum, while the continued slide reflects persistent selling pressure and sensitivity to global cues. Overall, the market appears to be stabilising at lower levels, but a decisive bottom has yet to emerge following the steep pullback from January highs.

The downward momentum intensified thereafter, with prices sliding to ₹260 on February 17 and ₹255 on February 18. With rates tumbling ₹40 from ₹295 to ₹255 within less than a week, sentiment remains fragile, pointing to sustained selling pressure and a clear downward bias in the domestic silver market.

Outlook

Silver prices in India continue to trade within a volatile corrective downtrend in mid-February. After briefly rebounding to ₹295 per gram on February 12, rates declined to ₹280 on February 13 and ₹275 on February 14, before slipping further to ₹268 on February 16. The downward momentum intensified thereafter, with prices falling to ₹260 on February 17 and ₹255 on February 18. The sustained slide following the short-lived rebound indicates weakening near-term momentum, with selling pressure dominating and buying support remaining inconsistent.

Conclusion

As of February 18, silver prices stand at ₹255 per gram, or ₹2,55,000 per kg. Retail rates are around ₹2,550 per 10 grams across most major cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Pune, Vadodara, and Ahmedabad, while Hyderabad and Kerala continue to quote higher at about ₹2,600 per 10 grams. The sharp drop from ₹295 to ₹255 within less than a week highlights persistent volatility and a clear short-term downward bias, with the market still searching for a stable base.
