On Wednesday, November 19, 2025, silver prices inched up but stayed about 12.7% below their all-time high of ₹1,78,100 per kg reached in mid-October, as investors weighed the likelihood of Federal Reserve rate cuts and evolving industrial demand.

Silver’s pullback from its peak followed three straight sessions of losses in early November, fueled by growing speculation that the Fed may lower interest rates as inflation shows signs of easing. Experts pointed out that, despite short-term fluctuations, the underlying fundamentals remain supportive. Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, noted that MCX Silver is currently finding support near ₹1,55,000, with significant resistance at ₹1,58,000 and ₹1,62,000. He stressed that the broader economic outlook, particularly the possibility of Fed rate cuts, will likely shape silver’s direction in the months ahead.
Recent events in the mining industry have added to the market’s cautious mood. Aya Gold & Silver Inc., a Canadian company operating in Morocco, revealed plans to monetize a stockpile of silver-rich pyrite concentrate,

For now, however, silver’s trajectory will depend on central bank decisions and the pace of global economic improvement.
