The reason that silver is spiking has nothing to do with AI hype. Banks and hedge funds are MASSIVELY short silver and it is essentially a ticking clock for them. Silver has been suppressed and manipulated until it could be no longer.
indeed, the squeeze must be squoze
>>61549392There’s a ton of factors influencing the price of silver right now and almost none of it has to do with individual/retail investors or speculators.
>>61549392yes, after years it barely catched up to inflationstill it didn't gained purchasing power (on decade long scale) and never will
>>61549447I missed this. Care to give a TLDR? Is this related to COMEX paper silver blowing up?
>>61549685It raises capital requirements on commodity traders, particularly on gold and silver traiders, so that derivatives traders cannot be too leveraged. It's one of the reasons that tamping has become more difficult since July
>>61549685To wit, the price of silver since july of this year began rising at a steeper pace than during the previous 21 months since october 7 2023.
>>61549685The longer time scale. Increased capital requirements have made shorting the market more expensive, and at the same time, longs have been able to entrench themselves by taking delivery during the compounding physical deficite build of the previous years. Now that longs have been amassing good delivery silver, they have the goods that shorts need in order to undercut the value of longs, unless new material can be added.In early october 2025, the top teir silver refineries in the USA reached capacity, and stopped accepting new material, thus putting a ceiling on good delivery production in the USA. Since every short is a legally binding contract, the shorts had to buy metal at a new ATH from longs in order to fulfil delivery obligations to . . . Longs.Tl;dr>longs buy up good delivery bars>shorts sell naked contracts to drop the price>longs buy those contracts and wait>shorts lease and buy up good delivery to meet delivery obligations>not enough silver to go around>shorts buy silver from longs>shorts use silver to make delivery back to longs>longs win bigly
>>61549395in a physical market like commodities they actually can squeeze the squozeunlike paper stocks you cant fake silver delivery or you default and in a global market that means your entire market just moves abroad to where the physical is and they get to make the new ruleslondon and with it the british budget are fucked
>>61549557The btc gains are misleading because the market cap basically started at zero. Its never going to see those gains again
>>61549447I like how retards think that silver spiking will end the banking cartel even though its spiking because of the actions of the banking cartel and their political and regulatory cronies
Imagine these bars getting handed out during your last will and testament.>To my 16-year old nephew, I hope this will give you as much comfort as it brought me. Cherish it and you look at it, think of me.

>>61549392It's spiking because China is buying it all. Are you retarded?
>>61549816if short positions are obliterated and fail, then the demand dries up right? no more pressure to close a position because they were fucked and are no longer in the game. is that why these things crash afterward?
>>61549392no one is short silver they are short IOUs which they are contractually allowed to settle in cash for a "fair" price as determined by a "neutral third party arbitrator"
>>61553864Source? Two things can be true at the same time.>>61554349What's the difference?
