Silver Price Nears $90 Exposes Major Banks' Short Position Crisis
- Staggering Short Positions: Analyst Danny highlights that Bank of America and Citigroup's combined short positions total 4.4 billion ounces, exceeding five years of global silver production, representing a $390 billion market risk that could undermine market confidence.
- Increased Market Volatility: As silver approached $92, the market experienced sharp volatility, with a rapid drop during low liquidity interpreted as price suppression, potentially triggering margin calls on short positions and increasing market instability.
- Physical Market Tightness: Despite the drop in screen prices, reported lease rates for physical silver surged, indicating rising borrowing costs for physical metal, reflecting a demand for physical silver that far exceeds the relaxed state implied by paper prices.
- Inelastic Demand Emerges: Above $90, industrial demand remains robust, particularly in solar panels, electronics, and EV components, suggesting that banks are not only shorting the metal but also indirectly shorting the industries reliant on it, which could exacerbate market pressures.
