Silver ready (.999 fineness) dropped by Rs 550 to conclude at Rs 44,600 per kg from Rs 45,150 previously.

"The trading was dull due to religious holiday and also because global uncertainty continues to weigh on the sentiment," dealers said.

But investor confidence was still shaky after recent tumble as well as sustained outflows from exchange-traded funds.

In Europe, spot gold was bid up at USD 1,421.81 an ounce in early trade, while silver was bid higher at USD 22.97 an ounce.
