Silver Rules Tighten in India After Volatile Trading on Gold-Duty Moves

India has moved to restrict imports of silver, putting certain silver-bar and semi-manufactured categories on its restricted list effective immediately. This adds to steps the government took earlier this week, when it raised duties on both gold and silver, as domestic silver prices showed sharp swings. Importers will now need tighter approvals for those categories, according to a government order. State oil firms hiked petrol and diesel prices by about 3 rupees per litre on Friday, the first increase in four years, just as fuel prices are rising and India faces higher import costs and foreign-exchange pressure. Bullion duties also rose to curb metal imports.

Silver Price Today Falls Below $67 as Fed Hold Meets Supply Crunch Warnings

Silver dropped to around $67 an ounce in New York on Thursday morning, deepening its recent slide as a jump in oil prices and renewed inflation fears drove investors away from precious metals. Fortune’s daily price page listed silver at $66.93 at 9 a.m. ET, a tumble of $10.84 from the previous day. Reuters was quoting spot silver at $67.26 just before 8:46 a.m. ET. Silver’s decline stands out, squeezed from both sides. While the Fed keeps rates locked and inflation creeps higher—conditions that typically weigh on non-yielding metals—a Kitco piece picked up by FXStreet on Wednesday flagged tightening supply. The Silver Institute isn’t budging either: a sixth consecutive year of structural deficit is still in the cards as demand

Silver Price Today: Why Silver Rebounded Toward $90 as Dollar Eases and Oil Slumps

Spot silver jumped 2.8% to $89.42 an ounce on Tuesday, clawing back ground alongside gold as the dollar lost momentum and oil prices slid. That uptick erased some of Monday’s dip, when silver dropped 0.2% to $84.18, pressured by a firmer dollar and worries over rising rates dragging on precious metals. The stakes are obvious right now. Silver’s caught in a tug-of-war: safe-haven flows are pushing it one way as investors seek shelter, but worries that stubbornly high oil prices might force the Federal Reserve to keep rates elevated for longer keep pulling it back—never great for non-yielding metals. Tuesday’s jump made clear just how quickly that dynamic can turn.

Silver dropped 1.9% to $81.83 an ounce by 1648 GMT on Thursday, as the dollar strengthened and U.S. Treasury yields climbed, dragging on demand. “The market is looking at higher oil prices and the potential for inflation, while higher Treasury yields usually aren't great for gold,” said Bart Melek, global head of commodity strategy at TD Securities. Spot gold traded 1.2% lower at $5,075.54. Platinum and palladium slipped as well, with traders eyeing Friday’s U.S. jobs data and the Federal Reserve’s March 18 rate call. The decline is significant—this Iran war is upending the standard safe-haven moves, driving oil up near $85 a barrel and shaking bonds simultaneously. “The main barometers here are the crude oil price the spike in

Silver price jumps near $93 as Iran tension and falling yields lift bullion; SLV rallies

NEW YORK, February 27, 2026, 17:10 EST — Trading continued after-hours. Silver shot higher Friday, bouncing hard after Thursday’s dip as traders piled into safe havens amid renewed Middle East concerns and a dip in U.S. Treasury yields. Spot silver jumped 4.8% to $92.60 an ounce as of 1:38 p.m. ET, setting up for a hefty 9.7% monthly climb. “There’s a lot of nervousness surrounding geopolitics… it’s a risk-off in a flight to safety,” said Phillip Streible, chief market strategist at Blue Line Futures. https://www.reuters.com/world/india/gold-steady-investors-weigh-progress-us-iran-talks-2026-02-27/

New York, Feb 17, 2026, 12:11 ET — Regular session Silver dropped sharply on Tuesday, with spot prices falling 3.8% to $73.67 an ounce at 11:33 a.m. ET. The metal touched a session low of $71.92 earlier. Pressure came from a firmer dollar and renewed momentum in U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, dampening safe-haven demand. Analyst Jim Wyckoff pointed to a “lack of fresh bullish fundamental news lately to drive prices still higher.”

New York, Feb 13, 2026, 13:01 EST — Regular session Silver jumped 3.2% to $77.55 an ounce by 11:04 a.m. ET on Friday, rebounding hard after Thursday’s sharp slide. Traders pointed to the cooler U.S. inflation print as the key spark, rekindling bets on Fed rate cuts later this year. Independent metals trader Tai Wong described the move as a “relief rally” following the CPI data that helped settle nerves.
