SHFE Silver Margin Hiked to 17% (COMEX Margins Hiked As Well) Yet Silver Recovers Within Minutes Of Asian Open Last Night. Short-Term Outlook Remains Very Bullish. Gold Just Broke Out Again To The Upside

We expected the 6PM ET margin-hike flush last night after margin hikes were announced both on COMEX and SHFE since Friday.

What we did not expect was a recovery within a few minutes and to be up almost a buck the following morning.

This bull market is strong.

Weak hands are largely gone.

We could see another massive green candle this week.

Spot > futures = backwardation.

Translation: people want silver now, not later—so badly they’ll pay a premium.

That screams near-term scarcity, tight inventories, and holders unwilling to part with bars, which raises roll costs for shorts and can fuel sharp upside bursts.

Volatility can still be expected, but this setup is classic pressure-cooker bullish.

Gold’s coiling under the lid is over—futures just pressed through the 4,357 ceiling.

Hold that level on a daily/weekly close and you’ve got price-discovery air above all prior highs: fresh ATHs, passive flows chasing, and beta leverage in quality miners.

Translation: the benchmark collateral is re-rating higher—again.

Exactly. Since ’08 we’ve been stacking IOUs faster than we’ve been creating output.

Each cycle needs more debt to buy the same unit of “stability,” so policy keeps doubling down—QE, buybacks, rate cuts, “temporary” facilities—because letting leverage deflate means markets crack.

This is not doom and gloom.

This is the beginning of a commodities super-cycle.

Gold and silver are leading the way.
