I’ve seen speculation that “someone” is purposely breaking the LBMA and CME.

The entire physical (not paper) trade of silver is something like $35 billion. That’s not a huge amount for some hedge funds, and certainly easy for a country like China.

The LBMA and CME exist on PAPER futures, traded by speculators. for a mere $35 billion, someone could stand for delivery of ALL the actual physical silver held by LBMA and CME banks and vaults.

What would that do to the price?

$300 t/oz is a conservative forecast.....just look at American Silver Eagles the last two weeks, been selling for $8-10 over spot....$33,000 plus for a Monster box, if you can find them...sure, a few with the big box boys....but “Out of Stock” at all my local dealers ( a major city).

I just visited Tampa area, all five dealers out....however, mint tubes of twenty random dates still to be found.
