$Everyone is staring at the +10% candle like it’s just another volatility spike…
but what’s happening underneath the surface is way more serious.
This isn’t hype.
This isn’t traders chasing momentum.
This is a structural squeeze in the physical market that’s finally starting to spill into price.
Here’s the part nobody wants to talk about:
🔥 1. China just pulled the biggest lever in the entire silver ecosystem
Beginning 2026, silver exports will fall under strict government control —
only large producers with deep credit access and regulatory approval will be allowed to ship metal out.
Translation?
Small and mid-tier exporters are done.
Global supply instantly tightens.
And when the world’s #1 silver powerhouse puts up walls, the rest of the world feels the shortage immediately.
We saw the exact same playbook with rare earth metals.
Prices didn’t drift up — they exploded.
🔥 2. The market was already running a deficit for years
Silver has had zero meaningful surplus in almost a decade.
Demand > supply.
Every. Single. Year.
But here’s the catch ⬇️
Most silver isn’t mined directly. It’s a byproduct of other metals.
So even if prices double, triple, whatever —
you can’t just turn on new silver mines like you turn on a tap.
🔥 3. Physical inventories are evaporating
Vaults across US, Europe, and Asia are sitting at multi-year lows.
Some regions barely have weeks worth of usable inventory left.
That’s why premiums in Asia are blowing out.
People aren’t paying more because they “want exposure”…
They’re paying because they need metal in hand — now.
🔥 4. Paper silver vs real silver is diverging
There are hundreds of paper claims per ounce of physical.
The moment too many people ask for real delivery?
The entire pricing structure resets — violently.
What you’re seeing today is the first crack.
🔥 5. Industrial demand isn’t stopping for anyone
Solar. EVs. Electronics. Medical tech.
No substitutes. No slowdown.
Even in weak economies, silver usage keeps climbing.
This is a real supply shock meeting real demand.
The price isn’t “pumping.”
It’s repricing.

I’ve spent over 20 years tracking macro flows, commodity cycles, liquidity crunches, and market tops/bottoms.
I’ve publicly called multiple major turning points before they happened.
When I make my full exit from the market, I’ll post it here — so you can mirror the move in real time.
If you’re not following yet… you’re going to miss it.
If you want, I can also make a shorter, more aggressive, or more dramatic version.$$
