PRICE — ₹2,30,041/kg · ▼3.11% · PLUNGING
SIGNAL — The selloff reflects a broad risk-off macro rotation, likely driven by the Fed reaffirming a higher-for-longer rate posture following resilient US labour data, strengthening the dollar and pressuring industrial metals simultaneously.
TWIST — The twist: silver's gold-silver ratio sits near ~84x ($4,167 ÷ $64.19), still historically elevated — in past reflationary recoveries (2009–2011, 2020–2021), sharp silver selloffs from GSR >80x resolved with silver outperforming gold by 40–60% in the subsequent 12 months, not continued underperformance.
CROSS-ASSET — MCX Gold is down 1.84% to ₹1,46,533/10g and MCX Copper is down 1.19% to ₹1,306.50/kg — the synchronised selloff across precious and industrial metals signals broad dollar-driven liquidation rather than a silver-specific event.
IMPORT COST — COMEX $64.19/oz × ₹94.34/USD × 32.1507 (oz/kg) = ₹1,94,749/kg pre-duty; applying ~18% import duty + GST equivalent factor brings MCX parity to approximately ₹2,29,804/kg — current MCX price of ₹2,30,041 is trading at a thin ₹237 premium to import parity, confirming no domestic dislocation.
TECHNICAL — Price is resting ₹480 above the 20-day range floor of ₹2,29,561 — the only charted support from Kite OHLC — having collapsed ₹21,308 (8.47%) below the 20-SMA of ₹2,51,349, with resistance now stacked at ₹2,33,166 and ₹2,38,964.
WATCH — A closing breach of ₹2,29,561 (20-day range low) would extend the breakdown toward the round-number ₹2,25,000
