Silver prices fell by 1.44% to Rs 52,938 per kg in early trade in the futures market today after speculators reduced their exposure, taking cues from a weak trend overseas.

The May delivery lost Rs 779, or 1.42%, to Rs 54,110 per kg, with a trading volume of 265 lots.

In the Asia region, silver fell by 3.19% to $28.79 an ounce in early trade today.
