I don't like to make any correlations between wider economic behaviour and the price of silver. In theory, if the economy was improving, industrial demand for silver would be supportive for the silver price.
India's tactic of levying import taxes on gold mean that silver is being bought as an alternative. In the last few months India has been purchasing silver at an annualised rate equal to the annual production rate of silver.
