On Wednesday, November 19, 2025, silver prices inched up but stayed about 12.7% below their all-time high of ₹1,78,100 per kg reached in mid-October, as investors weighed the likelihood of Federal Reserve rate cuts and evolving industrial demand. MCX Silver December futures climbed 0.45% to ₹1,55,337 per kg in early trading,
Silver’s pullback from its peak followed three straight sessions of losses in early November, fueled by growing speculation that the Fed may lower interest rates as inflation shows signs of easing. Experts pointed out that, despite short-term fluctuations, the underlying fundamentals remain supportive. Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, noted that MCX Silver is currently finding support near ₹1,55,000, with significant resistance at ₹1,58,000 and ₹1,62,000. He stressed that the broader economic outlook, particularly the possibility of Fed rate cuts, will likely shape silver’s direction in the months ahead.
Recent events in the mining industry have added to the market’s cautious mood. Aya Gold & Silver Inc., a Canadian company operating in Morocco, revealed plans to monetize a stockpile of silver-rich pyrite concentrate,
Looking forward, investors are set to pay close attention to the delayed U.S. non-farm payrolls data, postponed due to the recent government shutdown, as well as the minutes from the latest Fed policy meeting. Comments from Fed Governor Christopher Waller—who noted that businesses are preparing for layoffs as AI boosts productivity—have heightened expectations for rate reductions, which could put additional pressure on precious metals.
Despite short-term challenges, some experts remain optimistic about silver’s long-term outlook. “Silver’s unique position as both an industrial material and an inflation hedge keeps it important for diversified portfolios,” Ponmudi said, adding that medium-term tactical investments could benefit from potential price recoveries. For now, however, silver’s trajectory will depend on central bank decisions and the pace of global economic improvement.
