Silver prices dropped by 0.55 per cent to Rs 37,656 per kg in futures trading today amid profit-booking by speculators and weak global markets.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, silver for delivery in March fell by Rs 207, or 0.55 per cent, to Rs 37,656 per kg in a business turnover of 776 lots.
Similarly, the white metal for delivery in May moved down by Rs 180, or 0.47 per cent, to Rs 38,228 per kg in 49 lots.
