ANOTHER 4.7% Of Above Ground Silver GONE IN ONE DAY As Silver Enters Its SIXTH CONSECUTIVE Year Of A Deficit

Another 1.52 million ounces just got pulled out of COMEX registered.

Then Shanghai drained another 2.6 million ounces.

Combined, that is roughly 4.12 million ounces of physical silver removed.

Against an estimated 88 million ounce above-ground deliverable float, that means:

About 4.7% of the float just got drained. In basically one shot.

Silver does not trade on a huge pile of freely available metal.

It trades on a tiny physical base carrying an absurdly large paper superstructure.

So when COMEX loses 1.52M oz and Shanghai loses 2.6M oz at the same time, the issue is not just that inventory fell.

The issue is that real metal is leaving faster than paper markets are priced for.

The world is consuming more silver than it is producing.
Not for a week.
Not for a quarter.
For years.

That means the market is only balancing by doing one of three things:

draining inventories, rationing demand, or forcing price higher.

There is no fourth option. That’s the part the market keeps trying to hallucinate away.

If a market runs a structural deficit year after year, inventories eventually get thin enough that price goes parabolic.

This chart is simple… and terrifying if you understand what it represents.

The Strait of Hormuz is the single most important oil artery on Earth.
Roughly 20% of global oil supply flows through that narrow stretch of water.

Think of it as the main fuel pipe of the global economy.

Now look at the chart.

Tanker traffic didn’t drift lower.

It collapsed almost vertically.

That doesn’t happen in normal markets.

Ships carrying billions of dollars of oil don’t suddenly stop moving unless something is very wrong—usually war risk, insurance blow-ups, or a chokepoint becoming unsafe to pass.

And here’s where the physics kicks in.
