The price of silver futures is sometimes the same as that of the external market, but it is not always the same. Silver futures prices will be affected by many factors, including supply and demand, market sentiment, economic data and political events. The price of the external market (also known as the international market) is determined by the transactions of buyers and sellers in the global market. Due to these factors, there may be a difference between the silver futures price and the external price.

It is worth noting that the silver futures market is a derivative market, and transactions are conducted on the exchange, while external transactions may be conducted on the OTC market. This may lead to price differences, because participants, liquidity and trading rules in different markets may be different.

Therefore, although the silver futures price and the external price may be consistent in some cases, there may be differences. To know the real market price, it is suggested to refer to the formal exchange quotation or consult professional financial institutions or brokers.
