Silver Rate Jumps Over 3% To Rs 64750 Tracking Global Rates

July 31, 2020The closing price of silver jewellery stood at Rs 63,975 per kilogram on Friday, excluding GST, as against Rs 61,760 per kilogram the previous day, according to Mumbai-based industry body India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA).
Precious metal prices in the country vary from state to state due to VAT or value added tax. Jewellery prices are calculated by taking into account factors such as excise duty and making charges.
International silver prices climbed 3 per cent to $24.25 per ounce, and were on course for their largest monthly rise on records going back to 1982 - up about 34 per cent - with additional impetus from hopes for a revival in industrial activity.
The dollar - often seen by investors as a rival safe-haven - was on track for its biggest monthly drop in almost a decade. Its decline makes dollar-priced gold cheaper for holders of other currencies.
