Likewise, for delivery in December, the white metal traded Rs 197, or 0.32 %, lower at Rs 58,701 per kg, clocking a turnover of 386 lots.

Analysts said besides continued profit-booking by speculators at existing level, the drop in its prices in New York yesterday, also led to the fall in silver futures prices.

In addition, a weak trend at the domestic market also put some pressure on the silver futures prices, they said.

Meanwhile, silver lost 3.38 % to trade lower at $ 37.71 an ounce in Tuesday's trade in New York.
