Despite weaker than expected retail sales figures and plummeting consumer confidence in the United States, it's down 4.5%, trading near $1494 per ounce. (Silver is also getting slammed – it's fallen 5.4 percent this morning.)

The shiny yellow metal hasn't traded below $1500 since July 2011.

Meanwhile, oil is getting whacked for the second straight day. It's off 3 percent.
