From a fundamental perspective, due to the recent increase in domestic and foreign purchasing enthusiasm for lead, copper, gold and other minerals, the market valuation coefficient of associated silver has risen to varying degrees compared with before, and the rising prices of base metals and silver have also brought sufficient purchasing and production motivation to smelting companies. However, due to the limited supply of raw materials at the mine end, the quotation is negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Downstream production was operating normally due to the stocking up of low silver prices before and during the Labour Day holiday. However, after the silver price started to rise on Thursday, the market's new orders were very weak as the silver price broke through its high point.

It is expected that the silver price may fluctuate between 7,500 and 8,000 yuan/kg this week.
