Silver prices in India are influenced by international silver prices as well as movements in the rupee against the US dollar. A weaker rupee can push domestic silver prices higher when international prices remain unchanged.
Gold is widely tracked by both jewellery buyers and investors, with the precious metal often viewed as a hedge against inflation. However, the actual price paid by a jewellery buyer can differ from the quoted per-gram rate depending on factors such as making charges and applicable taxes.
