Today, silver prices continued to rise slightly. The opening price of spot silver was $29.517 per ounce, and the SMM 1# silver ex-factory reference average price in the morning was 7,579 yuan per kilogram, an increase of 14 yuan per kilogram compared to yesterday, with a growth rate of 0.1%. According to SMM, major factories in Shanghai quoted 2 yuan per kilogram today. Most trading enterprises were preparing to close their accounts, leading to a relaxed market sentiment. Procurement and sales pressure were relatively small, with cheaper goods selling relatively easily, while goods with higher quotes faced greater difficulty in sales.
