Potential Silver Market Shock: The silver market may face a structural shock in 2026 due to a tightening physical supply and a heavily leveraged futures and derivatives market, creating a potential disconnect between physical and paper markets.
China and India’s Role: China and India are emerging as key players in the silver market, with significant official and unofficial imports, while their inventories are at decade lows, indicating a strategic reserve approach.
Futures Market Dynamics: The COMEX futures market shows a concerning trend with a high open interest for March 2026, amounting to over 118,000 contracts, which could lead to a demand for physical silver that far exceeds available supply.
Historical Context: The current setup in the silver market contrasts sharply with the oil futures crash of April 2020, suggesting that if a similar situation occurs in precious metals, the repercussions could be severe.
