Silver prices edged up today, with the spread of spot market quotations continuing to widen. In Shanghai, suppliers held prices firm with TD premiums at 1,700-1,800 yuan/kg and were reluctant to sell, while some traders slightly lowered premiums to 1,500 yuan/kg for inventory clearance ahead of the holiday due to concerns such as potential post-holiday declines in spot premiums. It is understood that consumption in the Shenzhen market improved slightly compared to earlier, with some downstream enterprises and jewelers purchasing silver ingot raw materials to ensure normal production during the Chinese New Year holiday due to special reasons such as rush orders and delivery deadlines. The Chinese New Year holiday atmosphere remains strong, with a significant reduction in supplier quotations and an overall slowdown in actual market transactions.
