Mumbai-India (Aug 4)  Taking weak cues from global market, silver prices tumbled by another Rs. 532 to Rs. 47,139 per kg at the futures trade today as participants engaged in trimming their positions.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, silver for delivery in September was trading lower by Rs. 532 or 1.12 per cent at Rs. 47,139 per kg in a business turnover of 2,655 lots.
