Apr 17 (BNP): Silver prices rose sharply in futures trade on Friday, tracking positive global cues and improved investor sentiment.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange, silver for May delivery climbed ₹3,371, or 1.36 per cent, to ₹2,51,999 per kilogram.
The rise in prices was supported by a weaker US dollar and easing geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which boosted demand for safe-haven assets in global markets.
Analysts said the metal also gained strength from supportive international trends, as investors reacted to a softer dollar and improving risk sentiment across commodities.
