NEW DELHI, Aug 28: Silver prices went up by Rs 207 to Rs 42,140 per kg in futures trade today after participants built-up speculative positions, largely driven by a firming trend overseas.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, silver for delivery in September shot up by Rs 207, or 0.49 per cent, to Rs 42,140 per kg in a business turnover of 410 lots.
Similarly, the white metal for delivery in December rose by Rs 191, or 0.45 per cent, to Rs 42,853 per kg in 88 lots.
