Analysts said the reason for decline of silver in futures trade is offloading of positions by speculators in tandem with a weak global trend, as US economic data backed the case for the Federal Reserve to keep reducing monetary stimulus, while demand in China showed signs of waning.

Meanwhile, silver fell by 2.08 per cent to $19.04 an ounce in New York last night.
