On Friday's night session, bulls took profits, leading to a decline in silver prices. The opening price of spot silver was $30.346/oz. The SMM #1 silver ex-factory reference average price in the morning was 7,680 yuan/kg, down 153 yuan/kg WoW, with a decline of 2.0%. Today, the quotation for large-volume cash spot national standard silver ingots in the Shanghai area was on par with parity, while the premium/discount for large producers was 3 yuan/kg. Today, as downstream sectors gradually entered a rest period, traders and smelters also began to take breaks. There were not many selling enterprises, but downstream buyers still showed purchasing demand due to the price drop.
