The Last Time the CME Halted Trading, Silver Surged 127% Over the Next 60 Days
Silver Was Trading at $53.26/oz When the CME Halted Trading for 10 Hours overnight November 28th for “COOLING ISSUES”.
Silver then immediately spiked to an all time record high $56.78 immediately upon resumption of trading on November 28th.
Silver then proceeded to more than DOUBLE to $121 over the next 2 months as a historic physical short squeeze played out.
The CME “Cooling Issues” Trading Halt just HAPPENED to occur on First Notice Day for the December Silver Contract- Reportedly After a CHINESE INDUSTRIALIST notified COMEX of his intent to take PHYSICAL DELIVERY of 30 MILLION OZ of silver.
JP Morgan PULLED 13 million oz of silver OFF OF THE COMEX, & the Chinese industrialist had to SCRAMBLE to cover his shorts with physical metal in China. The resulting move in silver was one for the history books.
Is it a coincidence that today’s CME Trading Halt (“official” explanation yet to be invented) IS OCCURING ONLY 36 HOURS BEFORE FIRST NOTICE DAY on the March Silver Contract⁉️
CME Order
JUST AS SILVER IS PREPARING TO TAKE OUT $92 TO THE UPSIDE- WITH ONLY OPEN AIR OVERHEAD TO ALL-TIME RECORD NOMINAL HIGHS OVER $120⁉️

Doing nothing about it ( unless he is not aware) under his watch is terrible. Hi Ho Silver!
Due note the price of Silver on the Shanghai international trading markets:
SHFE Silver Above $105 As COMEX Silver Hits $91. The price disparity insures the corrupted US Comex will be cleaned out. The U.S. bullion banks shorting will hopefully pay a big price for their manipulation.
JP Morgan is - again - manipulating the silver market.

Will the U.S. Crimex default? Probably not, JP Morgan is sitting on a rumored 750 tons.....

CME halts trading on flagship metals market for more than an hour
World’s largest exchanges operator blames ‘technical’ issues for its latest outage.
The industrial demand for silver EVs, electronic devices that sevice AI and computers has skyrocketed since 1980 and continues to grow. Mines can’t keep up with demand. Also middle class people in India and China don’t trust their banks and hoard gold and silver as secure savings.

Last time the COMEX Metals went down Silver went on a multi-month rumble.
It just happened again. Technical glitches, cooling issues? - Who knows what their stated reasons are, but Metals trading is off-liine again. Regardless this is going to be intriguing...”
“Josh Phair, Owner and CEO of Scottsdale Mint, leads the charge in the fabrication, manufacturing, distribution, and retail sales of precious metals across 40+ countries on five continents...” He is most certainly in the know. He met in Europe last month for a world summit of miners, fabricators, Silver industry giants...much of the meeting was closed door....hmmmmmm..
So all the banks get to cover their shorts at a discount and then the price of silver magically goes up?

The world’s physical Wealth is moving from the corrupted West to the East.
Ah, the good old days when Silver was only $53. Sigh.
Pick a reason for PR purposes:
Need to maintain an orderly market
we must protect investors
must have safeguards to avoid terrorist and organized crime financing
implementing normal, regular trading guardrails
A computer glitch slowed trades but is now fixed.
You are correct. Comex has ~88 Million ounces of silver it can deliver...estimates are that 120-140 Million ounces will be needed by end of March for those standing for delivery. So a 30-50 Million ounce potential shortfall for March deliveries...UNLESS Comex hikes margin requirements AGAIN to force selling, BUT after that selling (a couple days) ITS TIME TO LOAD THE BOAT!
Yeah, and I'm doing my part to swim against that tide.😉
The latest Comex showed a bunch rolled over contracts or withdrew them....I don’t understand all the figures, but it appears the U.S. Crimex will not have a delivery failure event....kicking the can down the road...
...a few loaded the boat years ago, this Bull officially started in 2023....many have made more money in the past two years than a whole life of investing paper. It was/ is all about recognizing economic cycles. This Bull is just starting.
Hi Ho Silver ! ....and Gold.
“Probably not, JP Morgan is sitting on a rumored 750 tons.....”
What happened to your prediction that their silver shorts would destroy JPM?
“Comex has ~88 Million ounces of silver it can deliver...estimates are that 120-140 Million ounces will be needed by end of March for those standing for delivery. So a 30-50 Million ounce potential shortfall for March deliveries.”
Your p9st indicates a total ignorance of the futures market.
“Hi Ho Silver ! “
You need to reprogram Socrates.
>>Doing nothing about it ( unless he is not aware) under his watch is terrible. Hi Ho Silver!<<
If there was indeed “silver rigging” going on, Trump would know. So “silver rigging” must not be happening, is my conclusion.
