Silver prices fell first and then rose yesterday. Although the TD–the most-traded SHFE silver contract spot-futures price spread narrowed sharply, with the 2603 contract approaching delivery and the price spread between the 2603 contract and TD still at 900-1,000 yuan/kg, some suppliers held prices firm and were reluctant to sell. In Shanghai, mainstream quotations from suppliers of national-standard silver ingots were quoted at premiums of 1,000-1,100 yuan/kg against TD, but large-volume deals required negotiation down to premiums of 900-1,000 yuan/kg against TD, with only a small number of small-lot trades concluded at higher premiums. In Shenzhen, mainstream quotations in the market were quoted at premiums of 900-1,000 yuan/kg against TD, and a few producers sold and concluded deals in early trading at a premium of 600 yuan/kg against the SHFE silver 2606 contract. Downstream buyers still engaged in extensive bargaining and generally bought the dip, and in the spot market, quotations and transactions still varied significantly across different trading volume sizes.

Imported Silver Ingots Were Sold Off at Reduced Prices, While Supply Pressure Eased Marginally

[SMM Precious Metals Market Bulletin] In the silver ingot trading market last week, some suppliers reported that, as spot premiums in China declined and short-term expectations for price increases failed to materialize, import profits could no longer support price locking for April orders. At present, spot cargoes of imported large and small silver ingots were generally being sold off at reduced prices, and some suppliers even sold at a loss due to the need to recover funds or concerns that spot premiums would continue to fall. Approaching the weekend, spot cargoes of imported silver ingots and expectations for short-term supply both decreased, and selling pressure in the market eased marginally.
