【#白银暴涨 The real reason: It's not hype, supply has been "choked"】
Many people still hold an outdated belief: 👉 #白银 rising = emotional hype But this time, there are solid fundamentals. 1. The true trigger: China is about to restrict silver exports Starting from January 1, 2026, China will implement a license management system for silver exports: Only 👉 annual production ≥80 tons 👉 state-certified enterprises are qualified to export silver This is not "formal management," but a real supply gate. 2. Why is this policy so powerful? An underestimated fact: China controls about 60%–70% of the world's refined silver supply. In other words— The "water tap" for global silver is in China’s hands. Once exports are restricted, the amount of silver available in overseas markets will immediately decrease, not gradually. 3. The supply side is already at its limit I checked the data, and the situation is more serious than imagined: Silver has been in continuous shortage for 5 years By 2025, the global deficit will exceed 100 million ounces COMEX silver inventories 👉 decreased by about 70% over 5 years China silver warehouse inventories 👉 fell to the lowest since 2015 In some regions, 👉 inventories only last 30 days This is no longer "tight," but systemic tightness + no buffer cushion. 4. Demand side: not just traditional safe-haven The current demand structure for silver has changed: Photovoltaics New energy Electric vehicles Semiconductors Military & high-end manufacturing Even Elon Musk has publicly tweeted, expressing concern about long-term silver shortages. This is not "conspiracy theory," but a resource grab along the supply chain. 5. View silver in a broader context This is a very familiar script: Rare earths Tungsten Antimony Now it’s silver’s turn The logic is simple: Resources → Strategicization → Export tightening → Reclaiming pricing power Final words This round of silver price increase, is not emotion, not a joke, nor retail hype.

【#白银暴涨 The real reason: It's not hype, supply has been "choked"】
Many people still hold an outdated belief:
👉 #白银 rising = emotional hype
But this time, there are solid fundamentals.
1. The true trigger:
China is about to restrict silver exports
Starting from January 1, 2026,
China will implement a license management system for silver exports:
Only
👉 annual production ≥80 tons
👉 state-certified enterprises
are qualified to export silver
This is not "formal management,"
but a real supply gate.
2. Why is this policy so powerful?
An underestimated fact:
China controls about 60%–70% of the world's refined silver supply.
In other words—
The "water tap" for global silver is in China’s hands.
Once exports are restricted,
the amount of silver available in overseas markets will immediately decrease, not gradually.
3. The supply side is already at its limit
I checked the data, and the situation is more serious than imagined:
Silver has been in continuous shortage for 5 years
By 2025, the global deficit will exceed 100 million ounces
COMEX silver inventories
👉 decreased by about 70% over 5 years
China silver warehouse inventories
👉 fell to the lowest since 2015
In some regions,
👉 inventories only last 30 days
This is no longer "tight,"
but systemic tightness + no buffer cushion.
4. Demand side: not just traditional safe-haven
The current demand structure for silver has changed:
Photovoltaics
New energy
Electric vehicles
Semiconductors
Military & high-end manufacturing
Even Elon Musk has publicly tweeted,
expressing concern about long-term silver shortages.
This is not "conspiracy theory,"
but a resource grab along the supply chain.
5. View silver in a broader context
This is a very familiar script:
Rare earths
Tungsten
Antimony
Now it’s silver’s turn
The logic is simple:
Resources → Strategicization → Export tightening → Reclaiming pricing power
Final words
This round of silver price increase,
is not emotion, not a joke, nor retail hype.
It’s because—
Supply is blocked, inventories are being depleted, and demand continues to expand.
👉 Tsinghua University is step by step
redefining the rules of the commodities game.
And silver has just entered the main stage.
