New Delhi-INDIA  (July 4) Silver prices fell 1.16 per cent to Rs 40,515 per kg at the futures trade today as speculators booked profits amid a weak trend in the global market.

Similarly, the white metal prices for delivery in September declined by Rs 420 or 1.01 per cent to Rs 41,111 per kg in a business volume of 1,148 lots.
