Silver prices spurted by Rs 517 to trade above the Rs 40,000 per kg after a gap of four months in futures trade today as traders created speculative positions, largely driven by a firming trend overseas.

On the similar lines, the white metal for delivery in March contracts rose by Rs 490, or 1.24%, to Rs 40,012 per kg in 3,148 lots.
