Silver prices on March 27
Silver rates saw a mild uptick on Friday, March 27, as geopolitical uncertainty in West Asia, driven by the continuing US–Iran tensions, kept investors inclined toward safe-haven assets. However, the upside remained restricted as traders awaited clearer signals from global markets.
As of 6:45 AM, spot silver was trading at USD 68.10 per ounce, up about 0.2 per cent, but still below the key USD 70 level. The metal had declined in the previous session, and on a weekly basis, silver has posted a modest gain of around 0.5 per cent so far, indicating a gradual recovery after recent fluctuations.
