The silver market managed to add to its initial strength in the wake of a large portion of the US scheduled data today but the silver market had to rely on the strong action in the gold and energy markets, more than on the weak Dollar argument. While the US Dollar was mostly weaker in the morning trade, a coordinated rise in a host of physical commodity markets early today seemed to provide the silver market with a fresh lift. In fact, given the early negative flow of news on rising physical silver supply, the bull camp in silver seems to have dodged a bullet this morning and in turn the surprising gains this morning seem to have put the bear camp back on its heels with a rise toward the upper end of the last two week's trading range.
