Today, silver prices declined. The opening price of spot silver was $28.944 per ounce, and the SMM 1# silver ex-factory reference average price in the morning was 7,440 yuan per kilogram, down 82 yuan per kilogram compared to yesterday, a decrease of 1%. According to SMM, most traders in the Shanghai area were in a closed-account state today, with few market quotations and limited transactions. As most enterprises had already announced pre-holiday closures, downstream enterprises prepared in advance, leading to low recent procurement demand and limited market transactions.
