❓ Why silver is suddenly causing panic

Silver has been in a structural deficit for 5 years.
2025 demand: ~1.24 bn oz
2025 supply: ~1.01 bn oz
The gap never closed.

From Jan 1, 2026, China tightens exports: licenses required, only state-approved firms, ~80t of annual output involved. Smaller exporters are effectively blocked.

Physical stocks are thinning.
COMEX inventories are down ~70% since 2020, London vaults ~40%, Shanghai near 10-year lows. Some regions reportedly hold only 30–45 days of industrial silver.

Paper claims still dwarf physical metal.
Estimates range around 300+:1, meaning price discovery stays smooth until delivery actually matters.

Market signal: physical silver in China is trading at large premiums, with reports of $120+/oz, far above Western benchmarks.

This isn’t about a target.
It’s about access to metal in a market with almost no buffer left.
