The clear divergence between the gold and silver markets today highlights a possible fork in the road for the two metals markets, as the gold market is apparently capable of consisting retaining the flight to quality angle, while the silver market is consistently being lumped into the industrial or physical commodity camp. With copper prices down by as much as 36 cents at times and platinum prices at times this morning also down as much as $40 an ounce, it is clear that the silver market is feeling some spillover pressure from other metals markets.
