Bhubaneswar, Feb. 17 -- Silver prices have declined, with the current rate standing at Rs 2.75 lakh per kilogram. After once touching Rs 4 lakh per kg, the white metal has gradually dropped to its present level. For the past four days, silver prices had remained steady at Rs 2.80 lakh per kg in Odisha before witnessing the recent dip, sources said on Tuesday.

Daily fluctuations continue in the gold and silver markets. Interestingly, while platinum has traditionally been considered more valuable than gold and diamonds, soaring gold prices have now outpaced platinum's value.

With gold becoming increasingly expensive, consumer interest is gradually shifting towards silver as a more accessible precious metal investment.
