New Delhi: After a record-breaking rise in 2025, silver prices are now witnessing sharp fluctuations. On Thursday, January 8, there was tremendous selling pressure on silver in the domestic and global markets. Due to profit recovery, prices suddenly slipped and increased vigilance among investors. The special thing is that this decline has come at a time when silver was one of the highest returning commodities last year.
Ajay Suresh Kedia, the founder & director of Kedia Advisory, spoke exclusively to TV9 and presented his views on the decline of Silver price today. The expert said Silver prices slipped below $75.50, plunging over 3.5% and extending losses from the previous session as the bullish momentum that recently pushed precious metals toward record highs began to fade. The decline was driven by heightened volatility amid index rebalancing flows, a firmer US dollar, and mixed US economic data that offered limited clarity on the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook.
"While underlying safe-haven demand remains supported by geopolitical tensions and supply constraints, a sustained move below $80 could expose silver to further downside toward $72 and $68, with key resistance seen at $86 and $90," Kedia said.
In the domestic market, there was a big fall in the price of silver on the Multi Commodity Exchange i.e. MCX. Silver fell by about Rs 11,000 per kg on 8 January to 2,40,605 intraday. At the expiry of March 5, the four-day rise in silver futures broke and the prices fell by more than 3 percent to about Rs 2,51,720 per kg. Earlier in the session, silver had also set a new all-time high of Rs 2,59,692 per kg.
Silver also appeared to be under pressure in foreign markets. Spot silver fell nearly 2.7 percent to $76.01 an ounce. However, the decline was somewhat lower than the domestic market. Experts say that technical disruptions and profit recovery at the global level have put pressure on prices.
According to market experts, silver is facing strong resistance around $79 per ounce in the international market. Above this, the level of 82 dollars is considered important. As long as prices do not stay above this level, sharp fluctuations may persist. The intensity of the bullish and downward trend in recent sessions shows this volatility.
It is worth noting that at the end of December 2025, silver reached an all-time high of $83.62 per ounce. Silver had shown tremendous growth of about 147 percent in the whole of 2025. Strong industrial demand and increasing interest from investors were the main reasons for this. Now the correction is being seen after the same sharp jump.
Silver-linked ETFs also showed mixed trends. Some ETFs had marginal gains, while many big silver ETFs saw limited growth. It is clear that investors are avoiding taking risks at the moment. Analysts have been warning that silver is more volatile than gold and after a sharp rally, it sees bubble-like movements.
