Tracking a firming trend in the global markets, silver moved up by 1.19% to Rs 51,939 per kg in futures trading today.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, silver for delivery in March rose by Rs 609, or 1.19%, to Rs 51,939 per kg, with a business turnover of 8,435 lots.
Likewise, the metal for delivery in May traded higher by Rs 589, or 1.12%, to Rs 53,050 per kg, with a trade volume of 286 lots.
