Silver reached a new record high

ByVictoria

New Delhi, Jul 14 (PTI) Silver prices skyrocketed Rs 5,000 to hit a fresh peak of Rs 1,15,000 per kg in the national capital on Monday as investors rushed to safe-haven assets following weakness in the US Dollar amid uncertainties over US tariff threats.

“Silver prices are surging, reaching a new record high in the domestic market and hitting the highest level in almost 14 years in the international market. This rally is driven by a change in investor interest toward alternatives to gold,” Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst – Commodities at HDFC Securities, said.

    Copper prices have been on a stellar run, boosted by President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs. But Wall Street sees headwinds for the metal, with two miners catching downgrades.

    Freeport stock lost 3.2%, closing at $44.12, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.4% and 1%, respectively.

    Southern Copper shares fell 2.4% to $97.54.

    As for demand, Citi analyst Tom Mulqueen noted in a Tuesday report that tariffs and policy changes will be a headwind in the second half of 2025.

    “We also see sustained sluggish manufacturing activity and solar frontloading weighing on copper end-use consumption in the months ahead,” wrote Mulqueen.
