Recovery in the rupee also put pressure on silver futures prices

Press Trust of India New Delhi
Silver futures prices today fell by another 1.25% to, Rs 54,301 per kg, extending its yesterday's slide, as speculators engaged in off-loading positions amid a weakening overseas trend and recovery in rupee's value.
 
Analysts said besides a weak trend in the overseas markets on concern over the US Fed scaling back stimulus, recovery in the rupee, making dollar-quoted precious metals cheaper, put pressure on silver futures prices.
