The December contract dropped Rs 8,593 to Rs 2,00,575 on 22 Oct, its lowest in seven months, and traded near Rs 1,95,702 at about 12:30 PM on 23 Oct, down 1.95% from Rs 1,99,599. MCX gold fell Rs 2,300 to Rs 1,43,600 per 10 grams on 22 Oct, a two-month low, and was near Rs 1,42,355 today.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Silver price today is under pressure because traders fear that the US Federal Reserve could raise interest rates again after hotter inflation data and higher energy prices. MCX silver fell Rs 8,593 per kg, about 4.1%, to a seven-month low on 22 Oct and has slipped a further 1.95% today. Gold is at a two-month low alongside the silver price today, with MCX gold down about 1.6% on 22 Oct and 0.67% more today. Silver is down about 10% and gold about 3.3% so far in October, according to BusinessToday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The silver price today is a surprise for many investors, because the usual idea is that war and oil spikes lift precious metals. This time the opposite is happening. Higher oil raises inflation worries, inflation raises the chance of higher rates, and higher rates make non-yielding metals less attractive.<\/p>\n<p>This article on silver price today gives the latest levels, the reasons for the fall, the gold and silver comparison, the global cues and the points to watch. It is educational and not a recommendation to buy or sell.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in?utm_source=blogs&#038;utm_medium=silver-price-today-silver-crashes-rs-8590-per-kg-to-7-month-low-gold-at-2-month-low-fed-hike-fears-and-oil\">Click Here &#8211; Get Free Investment Predictions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/silver-price-today-silver-crashes-rs-8590-per-kg-to-7-month-low-gold-at-2-month-low-fed-hike-fears-and-oil\/#Silver_Price_Today_MCX_Levels\" title=\"Silver Price Today: MCX Levels\">Silver Price Today: MCX Levels<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/silver-price-today-silver-crashes-rs-8590-per-kg-to-7-month-low-gold-at-2-month-low-fed-hike-fears-and-oil\/#How_Silver_Fell_on_22_Oct_The_Seven-Month_Low\" title=\"How Silver Fell on 22 Oct: The Seven-Month Low\">How Silver Fell on 22 Oct: The Seven-Month Low<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/silver-price-today-silver-crashes-rs-8590-per-kg-to-7-month-low-gold-at-2-month-low-fed-hike-fears-and-oil\/#Why_Is_Silver_Price_Today_Falling_Fed_Fears_and_Oil\" title=\"Why Is Silver Price Today Falling?

Recent US consumer and producer inflation readings were hotter than expected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Higher oil.<\/strong> Brent crude settled at $113.17 on 22 Oct and touched $114.70 today. Higher energy prices can add to inflation, which supports the case for higher rates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Middle East tension without safe-haven buying.<\/strong> Renewed attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian infrastructure would normally lift gold. This time the rate effect has been stronger, and BusinessToday notes that safe-haven demand may not be enough to start a recovery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A weak risk mood.<\/strong> Wall Street&#8217;s tech sell-off on 22 Oct and falling Indian indices today show that investors are selling many assets and not only metals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Caution:<\/strong> These are the reasons reported by the media.

Smaller contracts, such as Silver Mini and Silver Micro, track the same metal in smaller lots and show slightly different prices because they expire on different dates. When people ask for the silver price today in a shop, the rate includes import duty, GST and the retailer&#8217;s margin, so it will not match the MCX screen.<\/p>\n<p>In India the rupee also matters. Silver is priced in dollars globally, so a weaker rupee raises the rupee price even when the dollar price is flat. The move on 22 Oct came with a fall in spot silver of 4.51% to $55.105, so the global price drove most of the Indian fall.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Silver_Price_Today_Versus_Gold_The_Ratio\"><\/span><strong>Silver Price Today Versus Gold: The Ratio<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Silver price today: comparison<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Figure<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Spot gold<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">$4,047.39 an ounce<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Spot silver<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">$55.105 an ounce<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Gold to silver ratio<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About 73 (my calculation)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Gold fall in October so far<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About 3.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Silver fall in October so far<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About 10%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The gold to silver ratio shows how many ounces of silver equal one ounce of gold, and a higher ratio means silver is weaker against gold. A ratio near 73 after a 10% fall in silver this month suggests that silver is losing ground to gold, but the ratio on its own does not say whether either metal is undervalued. I give it as context and not as a signal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_Cues_Behind_Silver_Price_Today\"><\/span><strong>Global Cues Behind Silver Price Today<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Goldman Sachs raised its December Brent forecast to $90 from $85, citing a risk premium of just over $20 a barrel, and the current price is well above that forecast. On 22 Oct, the S&#038;P 500 fell 1.2% and the Nasdaq fell 2.6%, and the 10-year Treasury yield dropped to 4.97% from 5.13%. A lower yield would normally help gold and silver, so the fall in metals shows that expectations about the Fed matter more than the daily yield.<\/p>\n<p>I did not find dollar index levels in the sources I read, so I do not describe the dollar&#8217;s role. The rupee also affects the silver price today on MCX, because a weaker rupee raises the rupee price of a dollar-priced metal, and I do not have a verified rupee level for today.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Silver_Price_Today_What_Should_Investors_Do\"><\/span><strong>Silver Price Today: What Should Investors Do?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Silver price today: investor type (my reading)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Points to weigh<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Long-term investor<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Metals are a diversifier, but a 10% monthly fall shows the volatility of silver; staggered buying through ETFs or other routes has less timing risk than a single purchase<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Short-term trader<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">The silver price today broke below Rs 2 lakh and the next test is the day low of Rs 1,92,800; a position size that allows for large daily swings is important<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Cautious investor<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Waiting for the Fed meeting on 27 and 28 Oct and for oil to settle gives more information than a bet on a bounce<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>This is an educational view and not advice.
