Should be an interesting open on the international silver markets in a few hours.

 After an 11% rise on the last day and 170% on the year, because demand far exceeds supply, four major banks, who are in DEEP shit because of their ‘naked shorts’, plus some Trumpies and the LBMA, (London Bullion Market Association) had an emergency meeting overnight and decided to flood the market with SELL orders at the open. Al least that’s what’s being reported. Who knows….

Will this be enough to turn the market? Even temporarily? Who knows….

Hard to say, but I DO know that the silver shortage is a long term issue with no quick fix, because there is no substitute for silver in solar panels, EV batteries, printed circuit boards, the defense industry and many other applications, not even counting the millions of ounces being bought by investors and being taken off the market.

And the world has been running a silver deficit, more being used each year than being produced, in the millions of ounces per years, for the last five years, which has nearly depleted existing silver stocks.

Oh, and starting Jan 1, 2026, China, that produces 70% of the world’s silver, has banned exports, like they did with rare earth metals, before their value skyrocketed.

Plus, the COMEX silver futures market has WAY more ‘promised’ silver on ‘paper’ than can ever be delivered, which isn’t a problem, until people demand delivery, which is coming soon.

Soooo, the yuuuge SELL program, orchestrated by those being hurt the worst may slow the rise of silver, TEMPORARILY, but you can’t change basic facts. 

There is WAY more demand than supply, and that sends prices in one direction, and it sure ain’t down…

At worst, a temporary drop, if it happens, could be a great buying opportunity, because it’s a fake fix, for a real problem.
