100% of COMEX November Gold Contracts Stood For Delivery Yesterday, 9 Weeks Until China Silver Inventories Are Drained, Options Market Screaming Large Upside Move Ahead for SLV
Physical stress, delivery pressure, and options-market positioning are converging into the same singular signal: the metals market is entering an explosive, supply-driven repricing phase.
Silver Headed Back To Test Recent All-Time Highs (Likely Headed $70-$100 in 2026), Tether Quietly Boosting Gold Demand, Deutsche Bank Raises Gold Forecast to $4,450 in 2026, AI was 90% of GDP Growth In 1st Half of 2025
From silver’s eruption above $52.50 and collapsing COMEX open interest... to Deutsche Bank lifting gold targets, Tether amassing physical reserves like a shadow sovereign fund, and U.S. GDP now running on a single AI-powered engine — every chart in front of us points to one truth: the monetary system is quietly rotating toward hard collateral while the real economy softens around it. This is the moment where price action, positioning, policy, and physical demand finally converge.
Tucker Carlson Now A Gold Bug - Starts Precious' Metals Company, Global Silver Inventories Fall Simultaneously, Gold Breakout Approaches, Money-Supply Models Point to $27,500 Gold, and Silver Targets $52
A mainstream giant turns gold bug, London–COMEX–Shanghai all drain at once, gold compresses into a textbook breakout, money-supply math screams five-digit gold, and silver is coiling inches below its launch trigger.
THE TRILLION-DOLLAR RESET
When BRICS+ moves to zero-haircut silver, COMEX revises open interest contracts by 33,000, developed-world central banks sit below 10% gold, 40% of professionals hold none, spot silver pulls farther away from futures, developed central banks sitting under 10% gold... only 5% of fund managers seeing $5,000 gold by 2026. Translation. We're EARLY.
When Japan’s 40-Year Carry Trade Cracks, Bitcoin’s Grid-Dependent Illusion Falters, China’s Silver Vaults Bleed 3% per Day, $111T in Sovereign Debt Groans, and Gold & Silver Begin the First True Repricing of the Modern Era
JGBs at record-high 20Y/40Y yields, USD/JPY ripping toward the 160 intervention trip-wire, and BOJ trapped between a collapsing currency and surging long-end rates reveal the weakest link in the most leveraged global financial system ever built. Simultaneously, SHFE silver inventories are falling at crisis speed — 3% in a single day and –47,715 kg in one week — forcing future stress onto LBMA and COMEX’s thin physical reserves. Bitcoin, breaking down against gold and silver to 21- and 23-month lows, faces its worst structural risk yet as soaring AI-driven electricity costs crush miner profitability and experts warn the internet itself is vulnerable to major outages. Meanwhile, U.S., China, and Japan now hold 60% of the world’s $111T sovereign debt pile, a scale that guarantees one outcome: real collateral — gold and silver — must be violently repriced upward as paper-based systems falter and digital markets wobble under liquidity shocks.
The Japan Shock: When Record-High JGB Yields, a Collapsing Yen, and a Frozen BOJ Force the World’s Largest U.S. Treasury Holder to Hit the Panic Button
20Y and 40Y JGB yields have gone vertical to all-time highs, the yen has plunged to 157.5 and is accelerating toward the 160 “intervention tripwire,” BOJ operations show zero defense as officials admit they’re trapped, global bond markets are now eroding in sympathy, and gold is rising tick-for-tick with Japan’s surging long-end. Japan — the 5th-largest economy and the single biggest foreign holder of U.S. Treasuries — is now facing simultaneous bond-market blowout and currency collapse. The only escape valve left is selling Treasuries... a move that tightens global liquidity, forces up U.S. yields, destabilizes equities, and drags the rest of the world’s sovereign curve into the same downward spiral.
The Great Silver Squeeze: China Drags Silver Higher With $2 Premium, Global Backwardation, and the Most Explosive Breakout Setup in Modern Financial History
With Chinese silver futures surging to ~$53.12—nearly $2 above COMEX—against acute backwardation and collapsing Shanghai inventories, global money supply jumping $10T in 12 months, miners sitting atop a tiny $0.13T market, silver holding its gains far better than the 1980 and 2011 peaks, and the Fear & Greed Index plunging to “9” even as the S&P is still up 37% from the April low, every major signal is flashing the same message: structural tightness, violent leverage under the surface, and a historic rotation into hard assets already underway.
The Break Point: Japan’s Yield Shock + Silver Supply Drain + India’s 530% Surge = Collateral Crisis
Record-high 2.75% JGB yields, a collapsing yen with a $110B stimulus, accelerating COMEX outflows to 469.5M oz, a bizarre -24¢ Dec25 silver spread, and India hoovering silver at 530% YoY are not random. Together they reveal a global system choking on debt and starving for real assets — with silver at the center of the storm.
Countdown to Zero-Silver LBMA, Oct-2 Backwardation, and 70-of-70 Chinese Cities Down: Commodities at 0.08× as Yellen Warns of “Banana Republic” Risk
LBMA is practically living hand-to-mouth on COMEX with effectively zero free-float silver while the metal has sat in backwardation since Oct 2; at the same time China’s housing bust has dragged on for 4+ years with new-home prices −0.45% MoM, resales −0.66% MoM across all 70 major cities, global commodities change hands at just 0.08× emerging-market equities, and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is openly warning the United States is “in danger of becoming a banana republic.”
Silver Tightens As Backwardation Persists, DXY Wobbling, and Liquidity Injections Hit $4.2B—Just as Analysts Target $62–64 by December and M2 Fair Value Points to $668
From Dec-25 silver trading below LBMA while Mar-26 and May-26 trade above it, to China’s SGE and SHFE pushing silver toward all-time-high momentum, to the Fed pumping over $100B since July to keep markets liquid—every signal is converging. A weakening dollar, backwardated futures, rising physical premiums, $205 gold surges, $5.31 daily silver moves, and mainstream calls for $62–64 all sit beneath an M2-adjusted fair value of ~$668. The system is preparing for the next phase—and price discovery is closing in fast.
