Silver prices rallied by Rs 6,066 to Rs 2.52 lakh per kilogram in futures trade on Monday as easing geopolitical tensions in West Asia and a weaker US dollar improved sentiment in the bullion market. On the Multi Commodity Exchange, the white metal for July delivery surged Rs 6,066, or 2.46 per cent, to Rs 2,52,252 per kilogram in a business turnover of 11,420 lots. In the past week, silver fell Rs 2,351, or nearly 1 per cent, to Rs 2.46 lakh per kg.

In a post on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump said, "The deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete," adding that he had authorised the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the immediate removal of the US naval blockade.
