This is attributed to buyers keeping their fingers crossed for the upcoming Fed meeting which will decide whether to have another round of quantitative easing or not. Also Tuesday saw Spain paying a record price to sell its short term debt which showed that the EU debt crisis is worsening and more spread out than just to Greece. Silver also decreased in price today due to these market movements.
