Im seeing silver as a set of fundamental perceptions.
Financial (Money, like gold), Industrial (Critial but consumed, like Oil), Sentamental (antiques , jewellery, collectable), and Opportunistic (meme coins and tulips)
The memetic aspect, driven by naratives, is like a spectrum of posible identitys attached to what intellience or propaganda your exposed too, and I feel that the price divergence between Shanghi and west is a bias introduced by:
Western treatment with a more financial, and opportunistic bias. Where the Shanghi price is valuing the industrial utility and pricing for the physical scarcity.
Like the west is the "real" bid. And shanghi is the "real" ask.
And the spread is the logistical overhead and cost value in arbourtrage that is where the players with all the control of the system are profiting in the "wealth transfer"
The price drop?
Profit taking?
If theres a massive flow of silver now headed from the us to china. And the price dropped because the US markets overextended the shorts on the western market as the shanghi price fell (obviously with purchaces the critical demand drops... and it would be suspicious if the shanghi price just plummits on demand relief...
Then thats insider trading... right?
Id love to see the silver physical flow dynamics for this month, and the short positions that have gone into the market over the fortnight bridging this weekend...
