Silver Rebounds 0.60% in India After August 25 Dip
Silver became more expensive in India on 26 August 2026.
One gram cost ₹247, and one kilogram cost ₹246,560.
This was a 0.60% increase from the previous close.
The day before, silver had fallen 0.21%.
Prices were slightly different in cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
A weaker US dollar and lower oil prices helped support silver.
Investors are waiting for US economic information and speeches about interest rates.
Silver is used both as a precious metal and in products such as solar panels, electric vehicles and AI infrastructure.
One analyst said prices could rise further if they break above an important resistance level.
Silver rose 0.60% on 26 August 2026 to ₹247 per gram, ₹2,466 per 10 grams and ₹246,560 per kilogram.
On 25 August, silver had fallen 0.21% to ₹244 per gram and ₹244,290 per kilogram.
On 26 August, city rates ranged from ₹246 per gram in Delhi and Kolkata to ₹247 in several other major cities.
A softer dollar, lower oil prices and expectations around US interest rates supported silver, while traders awaited US economic data and Federal Reserve guidance.
Choice Broking identified resistance near ₹248,800, while Axis Securities previously said an international close above $70 could open a path toward $72-$75.
