Marketmen said the fall in silver futures was mostly due to a weakening trend in global markets after China weakened the yuan's daily reference rate by a record to resist a slump in exports from Asia's top economy, boosting the dollar and hurting demand for bullion.

Meanwhile, silver fell 0.9 per cent to USD 15.11 an ounce in Singapore today.
