Silver prices rose sharply by Rs 325 to Rs 37,158 per kg in futures trading today as speculators indulged in creating fresh positions amid a firming trend in the precious metals overseas.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, silver for delivery in March traded higher by Rs 325, or 0.87 per cent, at Rs 37,158 per kg in a business turnover of 702 lots.
