Silver Prices Fall 0.53% Amid Dollar Index Rebound

On 4 September 2026, the price of 1 gm of silver was ₹240, and the price of 1 kg of silver was ₹240,280, reflecting a loss of 0.53% compared to its previous close. Meanwhile, the 10 gm silver rate is at ₹2,403. Silver prices in India are largely influenced by international spot silver rates, US dollar fluctuations, and import duties on silver among other things. Silver prices are trending down on the back of a rebound in the dollar index. Over the previous session, the dollar index had slipped sharply but recovered on Friday. A firm greenback makes dollar-priced commodities more expensive, thereby denting demand.

This helped limit the declines for the white metal, as lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets. Over the past one month, silver prices have advanced by more than 12%.

Inflationary fears over elevated crude prices continue to mount pressure on the white metal, which may limit its gains, they add. “A break below $67 could resume the weakness and drag price toward $65.500-65.000 (near the 50/200-day EMA), with next support at $64.000-63.500,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
