Silver prices were unable to de-link with overly weak gold prices during the action Tuesday. It also seemed as if weakness in a host of physical commodity markets were coming under long liquidation pressure and that is somewhat surprising considering that the Dollar wasn't definitively higher and the energy complex did manage another round of new all time highs. While recent news of a slight reduction in silver production figures from a key silver miner were floated on Tuesday, the market just wasn't in a position to pay that much attention to potentially supportive supply side developments.
