Silver prices could find support around $50 an ounce following the recent correction, creating a strong buying opportunity for long-term investors. Ketan Dhruv of Bangalore Refinery notes that the recent hype has cooled off, allowing $50 to act as a solid base or new bottom from which the metal can rally further.
India's overall silver demand is expected to remain stable between 5,000 and 6,000 tonnes this year. However, imports are projected to decline by 20% to 40% due to softer demand and government-imposed restrictions.
Unlike gold jewellery where consumers seek lighter designs due to high prices, weight is less of a concern for silver buyers. Instead, manufacturers focus heavily on product finish quality, particularly enhancing anti-tarnish properties to make items more durable.
