Silver futures slumped by Rs 334 to Rs 47,027 per kg on Wednesday as participants cut down their bets taking weak cues from overseas markets.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange, silver contracts for December delivery tumbled Rs 334, or 0.71 per cent, to Rs 47,027 per kg in a business turnover of 2,662 lots.
Similarly, the white metal for delivery in March next year was trading lower by Rs 290, or 0.6 per cent, to Rs 48,068 per kg in a business volume of 171 lots.
